SignUp Now!In LIST you can use the /8 switch to display the file correctly. I don't see a way to do that with TYPE though.[Inspired by another thread] It's no big deal to me but ... LIST shows the 3-byte UTF8 BOM (whereas it doesn't show a Unicode BOM). Ditto for TYPE. VIEW does not show the BOM in either case.

Windows doesn't support UTF8 in any meaningful way (and UTF8 BOMs are deprecated at best and actively discouraged in practice).
In UTF-8, the BOM corresponds to the byte sequence <EF BB BF>. Although there are never any questions of byte order with UTF-8 text, this sequence can serve as signature for UTF-8 encoded text where the character set is unmarked.
