|  | > Strip UTF-8 [byte order mark](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark#UTF-8) (BOM) from a string/buffer
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | From Wikipedia: | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | > The Unicode Standard permits the BOM in UTF-8, but does not require nor recommend its use. Byte order has no meaning in UTF-8.
