Byte Order Mark, the Unicode character U+FEFF. Because U+FFFE is permanently
unassigned, U+FEFF can be used at the beginning of a Unicode file
to mark it as big-endian or little-endian. If you read U+FFFE instead,
you need to byte swap.

Plan 9 is an experimental/research OS from Bell Labs: see
http://plan9.bell-labs.com for details. It was the first OS to
support Unicode natively and exclusively.
