The extra characters are the Byte Order Mark (BOM) - see the documentation. A
BOM is useless with UTF-8, but there is no way to prevent 4D from inserting it
when using TEXT TO DOCUMENT.
I use this method instead:
C_TEXT($1;$2)
C_BLOB($blob)
TEXT TO BLOB($1;$blob;UTF8 text without length)
BLOB TO DOCUMENT($2;$blob)
