I am working on a text file that is UTF-8 without BOM. There is no BOM at the start of the file, but the editor keeps putting one in about 800 lines into the text file.
Here’s what it looks like:
$ od -c air-monster.txt | grep "273 "
0121040 \n \n 357 273 277 C H A P T E R I V \n
This is a show-stopper unless I can make it go away. Suggestions welcomed.
[edit: I can make it go away of I delete lines above and below where it was. So this is now a post I would delete if I knew how.]
