The use of Byte-Order-Mark (BOM) within Lasso.
Description
In short, a Byte-Order-Mark (BOM) allows a system, when interpreting a byte stream, to determine how the creating system ordered its bytes. Wikipedia provides a more thorough explanation.
How BOM affects Lasso
Lasso uses the presence of a BOM at the beginning of a file to denote that the file is encoded using UTF-8.
