All that means is that the UTF-8 signature is prepended to the file.
This is _not Microsoft_, it is the international standard
(incorrectly, IMO, but better a bad standard than no standard)
recommended by both Unicode (ever since UTF-8 was introduced) and
ISO-10646 (ditto). (Of course Microsoft is responsible for
introducing and supporting "little-endian Unicode" and other
abominations as well, but that doesn't change the fact that the
committees are not controlled by Microsoft, and they did approve
them.)
This needs to be fixed (XML prohibits the signature since UTF-8 is the
default, IIRC), but that's what you get for using 21.5 for daily work.
