I just would like to point out that's only when you use Microsoft notepad
probably. Other platforms shouldn't require such unnecessary BOM in the UTF-8

] Donald's UTF-8 file should begin with a UTF-8 BOM in order to identify it as
] a UTF-8 encoded file. The starting bytes should be 0xEF 0xBB 0xBF. These
