As you have UTF-8N where the N stands for the word "no" one could possibly have UTF-8Y where the Y stands for the word "yes".
Thus one could have the name of the format answering, or not answering, the following question. Is there a BOM encoded? However, using the letter Y has three disadvantages for widespread use. The letter Y could be confused with the word "why", the word "yes" is English, so the designation would be anglocentric, and the letter Y sorts alphabetically after the letter N. However, if one considers the use of the international language Esperanto, then the N would mean "ne", that is, the Esperanto word for "no" and thus one could use the letter J to stand for the Esperanto word "jes" which is the Esperanto word for "yes" and which, in fact, is pronounced exactly the same as the English word "yes". Thus, I suggest that the three formats could be UTF-8, UTF-8J and UTF-8N, which would solve the problem in a manner which, being based upon a neutral language, will hopefully be acceptable to all.
