We include the byte ordering mark in some of our files and not in others. Should we be consistent or should I just not be so picky?
From reading the Wikipedia page [1], it seems that some programs "cannot
interpret UTF-8 unless the BOM is present or the file contains only
ASCII". On the other hand, "Not using a BOM allows text to be
backwards-compatible with some software that is not Unicode-aware."
