strip-bom-buf

Strip UTF-8 byte order mark (BOM) from a Uint8Array

From Wikipedia:

The Unicode Standard permits the BOM in UTF-8, but does not require nor recommend its use. Byte order has no meaning in UTF-8.

Install

npm install strip-bom-buf

import fs from 'node:fs';
import stripBomBuffer from 'strip-bom-buf';

stripBomBuffer(fs.readFileSync('unicorn.txt'));
//=> 'unicorn'
