This is known a byte order mark or BOM. It can be used to determine several

1) That it is a Unicode file
2) The byte order of the file (little endian or big endian)

I don't like the [unicode] prefix to all subject lines, because it eats up
too much of the valuable human readble subject line space. I could live with

I was wondering whether storing the bidirectional embedding level together

When it's seven or less, and when it's nine or more. For some, the
definition of byte allows such possibilities. This is reflected in the fact
