UTF-8 Everywhere (2012)

Putting a BOM in UTF-8 is just silly. Unlike -16, there's no option for which order you put the bytes in. The only time you'll see a BOM in UTF-8 is in poorly converted UTF-16.

Apparently, Powershell requires a BOM to recognize UTF-8 scripts. https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/wiki/CreatePackages#char...

Yep, but a lot of MS software will only read UTF-8 correctly if a BOM is present.
