Strip UTF-8 byte order mark (BOM) from a
Uint8Array
From Wikipedia:
The Unicode Standard permits the BOM in UTF-8, but does not require nor recommend its use. Byte order has no meaning in UTF-8.
npm install strip-bom-buf
import fs from 'node:fs';
import stripBomBuffer from 'strip-bom-buf';
stripBomBuffer(fs.readFileSync('unicorn.txt'));
//=> 'unicorn'
