I have a git-backed ikiwiki install, and when I commit and push a file from an x86 host (LANG=en_US.UTF-8) to the Ikiwiki box, which is Debian GNU/Linux on Sparc, I sometimes get unusual characters (ef bb ff) before the first character of the wiki text. It seems that this is a UTF-8 "byte order mark" that is getting inserted automatically into the .wiki file by my editor: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/VimTip246#Tip:.23246-_Working_with_Unicode
Example:

Is there any way for ikiwiki to spot when .wiki files have this BOM and
deal with it, or should I make sure to strip it out before committing?
It would be easy to make ikiwiki strip out the BOM. For example, a simple
plugin could be written to s/// them out as a filter.
I'm unsure if ikiwiki should do this by default. --[[Joey]]
