Encoding
The Internet Object format uses UTF-8 as the default and mandatory encoding. This ensures that all implementations can reliably read and write text consistently. While you can use other encodings like UTF-16, UTF-32, or ASCII, keep in mind that not all systems might support them.
Byte Order Mark (BOM)
Adding a Byte Order Mark (U+FEFF
) at the start of your Internet Object text won’t cause issues—the parser will simply treat it as a space. However, it's generally a good idea to omit the BOM unless you have a specific reason to include it.
