UTF-8 encoding does not recognize initial BOM

    Details

    • Type: Enhancement
    • Status: Closed
    • Priority: P3
    • Resolution: Won't Fix
    • Affects Version/s: 1.4.0, 1.4.2_05
    • Fix Version/s: None
    • Component/s: core-libs

      Description

      A Utf-8 stream can optionally beign with a byte order mark (see, for example http://www.unicode.org.unicode/faq/utf_bom.html). This is the character FEFF, which is represented as EF BB BF in utf-8. Java's utf-8 encoding does not recognize this character as a BOM, though; the result of reading such a stream is a set of characters bginning with FEFF.
