Status: Open
Bug Type: mbstring related
Operating System: N/A
PHP Version: 5.3SVN-2009-09-11 (SVN)
New Comment:
It can be argued that the BOM character U+FEFF should never be
converted, as it is no real character.
I don't think it is the task of mb_convert_encoding to detect the byte
order and interpret the BOM.

Description:
------------
The first character of a UTF-16 string prefixed by "\xff\xfe" (LE BOM)
gets converted to wrong Unicode codepoint. Moreover, the resulting
string contains the BOM itself while it is uncalled for.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
var_dump(bin2hex(mb_convert_encoding("\xff\xfe\x01\x02\x03\x04",
"UCS-2", "UTF-16")));
?>
Expected result:
----------------
string(8) "02010403"
Actual result:
--------------
string(12) "feffff010403"
