    Think of it as a "Unicode file prefix". It actually means something else specifically and I can't think of the precise meaning but that's mostly what it boils down to.

    It is Unicode, it is the byte order mark indicating endian (byte order) and UTF encoding

    Heh... I finally get something right and I still doubt myself. Thanks for the confirmation, David.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
