@youkidearitai right now the code specifically deals with - UTF8: removing UTF8 BOM and removing `declare(encoding='UTF-8'); - UTF16LE/UTF16BE/UTF32LE/UTF32BE: converting to UTF8 removing the BOM and removing declare(encoding='...') - ISO-8859-1: converting to UTF-8 and removing declare(encoding='ISO-8859-1'), i couldn't really find information on a ISO-8859-1 BOM, so to the best of my knowledge it does not exist
it does not deal with any other encodings as of writing, but more can be added if needed.
