UTF-8 without BOM 2022

[torvista]

how you actually generated that image:

I saved the same file of gibberish in the two formats and used Beyond Compare.
Text compare said they were the same, HEX compare showed the difference, which is only the initial characters in red, which I assume is the BOM.
Then did a screen capture with Greenshot.

I find Beyond Compare indispensable and well worth the cost.

Thanks everyone for your input.

As a final note I add this self-explanatory link:

The two major tools WinMerge and Beyond Compare have both been updated in 2022, having survived the vicissitudes of Covid-19 (at least for now).
