It looks as if you have a BOM (byte order mark) at the beginning of the
file, as you figured out. One thing you can do is just to remove it,
but some editors (Notepad being one, I guess) will hide it from you.
This link has a number of suggestions how to remove it:

Hi,
I am getting a weird encoding issue when importing documents.
While my local copy of MarkLogic has NO problem loading a document,
when I try to load the same document on a remote server the following
error is raised:
[1.0-ml] XDMP-DOCROOTTEXT: xdmp:document-load("C:\TestFile.html", (),
<options
xmlns="xdmp:eval"><database>16453038828028925603</database><modules>0</modules><de...</options>)
-- *Invalid root text "" at C:\TestFile.html line 1*
The document loads OK in IE, which reports that the document is
"Unicode- UTF-8" encoding, and opens OK in Oxygen too. When I open the
document in Notepad I do not see any unusual characters on line one,
but did not really expect to. I recall that characters FE and FF are
used in Unicode to indicate whether the bytes are lower- or
higher-byte first (but is that just in Unicode 16?).
I tried add <encoding> options to xdmp:document-load() but none of the
values I tried helped any.
My local configuration is:
Architecture: i686
Platform: winnt
Host: neil-pc
MarkLogic Product Edition: Standard
MarkLogic Product Version: *4.2-5*
The server configuration is:
Architecture: amd64
Platform: winnt
Host: dgdbsrv1.dg.local
MarkLogic Product Edition: Enterprise
MarkLogic Product Version: *4.0-3*
So the obvious question is whether differences between 4.0 and 4.2
account for me not seeing the error locally, and the error appearing
on the server?
If so is the only solution to upgrade the server version? Or is there
an easy way I can convert the documents into a format that WILL load
into the earlier version of ML?
Regards,
Neil.
