QA/Utf8BomInteropReport
< QA
There has been a discussion about the support of UTF-8 BOM. The Markup Validator issues a warning saying that might cause troubles in some user agents. It would be good to know what is the real support in different products related to the Web.
This is the normal result in an HTTP environment.
| Passed | without BOM | with charset |
| Failed | without BOM | without charset |
| Passed | with BOM | with charset |
| Failed | with BOM | without charset |
For authoring tool (which are not HTTP user agents), only the test with BOM with charset is meaningful.
