Byte Order Mark (one of the functions of U+FEFF).
I know people have taken to expecting a search on AltaVista to provide the
answer to anything they might want to know, but users of the Unicode Standard
might want to consider consulting the standard itself. "BOM" is defined
in the glossary of the Unicode Standard, Version 2.0, on page G-1.
