Notepad may be horribly crippled, but I'm not entirely sure "broken" is the
right word for it. Does it do anything *wrong*? I don't think so.

UTF-8 pseudo-BOM (more of a signature, less of a Byte Order Mark) is
officially unofficially supported by the Unicode consortium, if you know
what I mean. They specifically point out it is not a BOM, and that you can
use it if you wish, but they'd rather you didn't.
