See http://unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html#bom1. It indicates the encoding that the file is written in, be it big-endian (most siginificant byte to least significant byte-- the way that we write, and the way the PowerPC stores numbers in memory), or little-endian (the reverse and the way intel processors store numbers in memory).

What does a byte order mark mean for a UTF-8 file? Is it just noise?

If it is just noise, the change is easy and I'll make it.
