Steven Wittens (aka unconed) declaration :

The UTF-8 BOM was a Microsoft invention. Nobody else uses it, and it breaks tons of things. Two examples off the top of my head: Unix hashbang scripts (i.e. #!/bin/bash), and PHP scripts (the BOM will trigger HTTP header finalization before any code is run).
