I create a UTF-8 encoded text file with another program. I load that file into pspad; the status line says UTF-8. I switch to "View | Hex Edit MODE". The status line still says UTF-8, but the hex display starts with a UTF-16 LE BOM.
In Hex Edit MODE, the status line must read "UTF-16 LE" and should not show a BOM. BOMs are used to tell other programs about the encoding of text files. When showing a hex view of data in the memory, a BOM is obsolete. The program knows about the encoding. -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,61802,61840> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
