[issue21509] json.load fails to read UTF-8 file with (BOM) Byte Order Marks

[Santoso Wijaya]

Santoso Wijaya added the comment:

I think you should use codecs.BOM_UTF8 rather than using hardcoded string "\xef\xbb\xbf" directly.

And why special casing UTF-8 while we're at it? What about other encodings and their BOMs?
