Tom Hummel:

Of course I'd expect Scite to write a BOM when I choose "UTF-8 Cookie"

Why would you want both a BOM and a cookie? They achieve the same objective in different ways.

and I do not expect a BOM when I choose "UTF-8" in the options menu.

   OK, our expectations differ.

Neither me (Unicode guru) yet this simple editor for windows does a
fairly good job at detecting utf8 encoded files without a BOM.

The file 'Edit.c' is interesting here.

This code assumes (depending on settings) that anything that can be validly interpreted as UTF-8 is UTF-8. Not an assumption that I think is safe.
