As I understand it, 0xFEFF leads a double life: it's either "zero width no-break space" or "byte order mark". If it's the very first character in text, it's a BOM, otherwise, it's a zero width no-break space. So it's a valid character in the middle of text, it just isn't a BOM. At least, that's how I understand it. Cheers, Philip
