Thanks, Notepad2 produces an identical UTF-8 file to UltraEdit-32. The
link that Otto sent explains why I thought that UltraEdit-32 adds a BOM
even when specified that it shouldn't: "When you open a Unicode file, it
is always converted by UltraEdit to UTF-16 LE for editing, independent
of the original encoding. So you will see after switching to hex mode
always the UTF-16 LE BOM (FF FE)."

I tried opening the file in Hexedit and it does not show FF FE.

It does not seems like the problem is the encoding of the file, I've
attached my test file if you want to check it.
