Apparently all YouTube comments have a UTF-8 BOM... at the end. YouTube, don't drink and webdev. @FakeUnicodepic.twitter.com/QSnzPdNhti

Of course if it were a BOM used the way BOMs are intended to be used it would have to be at the beginning of the file. There's no reason to have a legacy ZWNBSP here, so the point is it's most likely a BOM that snuck into a stupid place due to bad code.
See also http://unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html#bom6 … "In the absence of a protocol supporting its use as a BOM and when not at the beginning of a text stream, U+FEFF should normally not occur." Yes, it will be treated as ZWNBSP, but that's for backwards compatibility and most likely a mistake.

Yes, with the new information that Chrome just rendered it with & encoding, I agree it’s a BOM that snuck into a template being concatenated. I guess someone needs to reconfigure their editor ;)

Even if &-encoded, I would just have expected that to be the output of a text transform over what was originally a BOM SNAFU :P
