Yes it isn't part of the standard. However vendors very rarely follow
standards. Worse they often exhibit attitudes like this, that others should
have to deal with cleaning up for them.
I'd estimate that 30% of the code in Koha is dealing with the fact that others
don't follow standards :)
Hi
Recently we have the problem some vendors are delivering their
UTF-8-encoded MARC 21 data files (ISO 2709) starting with a byte order
mark / BOM (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark). Most
vendors I know (e. g. Overdrive) don't include such a BOM, but in
Germany some do.
