Oxygen XML Forum

It appears that if a file is saved from Notepad as UTF-8 a Byte Order Mark is inserted. Oxygen then does not correctly open the file. The Unicode characters are garbage. If I "fix" the file by removing the BOM using UniRed then Oxygen can then again read it.

This has caused some file corruption for us where a file with a BOM was saved from Oxygen.

I believe Oxygen should be able to determine the existence of a BOM and handle it accordingly.

Hi Darren,

This is in fact a Java bug as the InputStreamReader should recognize and skip the BOM. You can have a look at

Thanks for reporting this problem. We will add code in oXygen to work around this problem.

Best Regards,
George
