I take that back - this is from the wikiPedia:

While UTF-8 does not have byte order issues, a BOM encoded in UTF-8 may be used to mark text as UTF-8. It only identifies a file as UTF-8 and does not state anything about byte order.[1] Quite a lot of Windows software (including Windows Notepad) adds one to UTF-8 files. However in Unix-like systems (which make heavy use of text files for configuration) this practice is not recommended, as it will interfere with correct processing of important codes such as the hash-bang at the start of an interpreted script. <It may also interfere with source for programming languages that don't recognise it.>

I am pretty sure that Transcript is one of those languages that doesn't recognise it, which is why removing the sequence you identified earlier works.

Best,

Mark

I'm pretty sure that if it really is UTF8, then there should be no BOM...is it possible that the actual encoding differs from the stated encoding?

BOM in this case Byte order Mark (I think) I am completely unsure about that UTF-8 stuff though.

replacing anything inside the node contents would render the whole purpose of using UTF-8 encoding useless, wouldn´t it?

All the best,
