Yvon, I'm afraid that's not true with respect to UTF16 as an example
shows at
<http://www.satimage-software/en/unicode_and_applescript.html>.
And the BOM would provide a handy way to tell a UTF8 from an ASCII.
It's rather unfortunate that the UTF8 BOM was not widely adopted,
because reading a UTF8 as ASCII is a bad experience which happens
rather frequently, I think.
