[rt-users] mason unicode utf-8 BOM - junk in component output

[Boldra]

I've been playing around with converting some of the mason components to 
utf-8, but I've found I keep getting the BOM (byte-order-marker) 
displayed on the page (as two rubbish characters preceeding the 
components output).  I can save files as BOMless (using ultraedit), 
which seems to solve the problem, but it doesn't seem like a very 
sensible solution.

Does Mason support modules in utf-8 ?  Is it a system setting (I'm using 
freebsd)?  I have the mason baboon book, but I can't find anything about 
unicode, utf-8 or internationalization there.  I know the po files are 
utf8, but since I'm (admittedly short-signtedly) writing only for a 
German-language site, I'd prefer not to have to put everything in the po 
files.

Any help much appreciated.
