This test checks how the UTF-8 signature (or Byte Order Mark) in an XHTML 1.0 file served as text/html is handled by a user agent. In some user agents (typically older versions), the presence of the signature at the beginning of a file causes a blank line to appear at the top of the page, often with the additional display of spurious characters.
Objective: Does the presence of a utf-8 signature produce unwanted display effects?
Description: The linked to file displays a file saved in UTF-8 with a signature.
Check that the text appears at the top of the page, with no extraneous characters before the 'T'.
Objective: Ensure that nothing else is producing unexpected behaviour in test 1.
Description: The linked to file displays a file saved in UTF-8 without a signature.
Check that the text appears at the top of the page, with no extraneous characters before the 'T'.
