Logged In: YES user_id=21627 The place is right, but I feel this documentation is incomplete still. The library reference should explain somewhere what the difference between utf-8 and utf-8-sig is. Perhaps a footnote could be added. I think I would prefer a separate subsection on the BOM, explaining byte order in UTF-{16,32}, and how the BOM can be used as a magic signature for UTF-8.
