GOAL:
Can Progress read the BOM (Byte Order Mark) of a UTF-8 file?
FACT(s) (Environment):
OpenEdge 10.x
All Supported Operating Systems
FIX:
A Unicode file can normally be read using INPUT FROM SomeFile BINARY and IMPORT into a MEMPTR variable. This will allow the reading of the BOM of some types of Unicode formatted files. However, UTF-8 formatted files cannot be read in this way because we know the UTF-8 BOM structure and if we encounter it we process it internally (which is to be expected, 99.9% of the time you do NOT want to see the BOM, you just want to see the data).
