Joe Hildebrand (jhildebr) scripsit:

> "Some producers of JSON produce JSON-text that starts with a redundant
> U+FEFF (ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE, previously known as BYTE ORDER MARK)

For "previously" read "also".  Indeed, the use of U+FEFF as a
zero-width no-break space is deprecated in favor of U+2600 WORD JOINER.
See <http://www.unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html#BOM>.
