Hi,

What exactly is the expected behavior for coding
utf-8-with-signature?

  - if I understood correctly the BOM is a zero width no-break space
    character that can be inserted directly
    
  - whether or not to force the utf-8-with-signature encoding before
    saving the buffer has no impact on the bom

  - load-file with a source file in UTF-8 with BOM causes an error

Ok, I have understood.

The BOM is never displayed. Changing coding before saving has an
effect, but nothing change in displayed buffer. Adding a BOM
explictely is an error.

Sorry for the noise.

AKA U+FEFF, zero width no-break space (old name BOM, byte
order mark). Here it is:
