Yes, that's correct... it purely identifies the data as UTF-8, and is not treated as data. (Unless, of course, the program reading the file doesn't understand BOM's... that won't be a problem with Notepad, however.)

Hi Scott,
Thank you for the BOM example.
If I understnad correctly, having that as the first "record" in my file
does nothing other than tell some other program that this file is UTF-8
encoded and that it will not be treated as data.
I will add this logic to my program and if any other issues, I will post
them here.
