But (and hopefully I'm not clouding the issue by saying this :-) don't forget that it's legal (but uncommon?) for UTF-8 encoded data to be prefaced by a UTF-8 encoded BOM. That is, a UTF-8 encoded entity MAY start with the three byte sequence 0xEF, 0xBB, 0xBF. (Obviously the BOM doesn't convey any useful byte order information, because each UTF-8 code units is a single byte, but may be present.)
