Steven Hawkins commented on TEIID-4340:
---------------------------------------

>From the link:

The Unicode Standard permits the BOM in UTF-8,[3] but does not require or recommend its use.[4] Byte order has no meaning in UTF-8,[5] so its only use in UTF-8 is to signal at the start that the text stream is encoded in UTF-8, or that it was converted to UTF-8 from a stream that contained an optional BOM.

You are looking for compatibility with some older windows or other tools that expect a BOM correct?

As for a workaround there aren't great options.  A udf would be the best bet to take a file and prepend the BOM.

> it will be good if teiid supports Encoding to "UTF-8-BOM" since other middleware technologies supports similar to this and also even editor such as Notepad++ supports to convert / save file as "UTF-8-BOM".
> Currently we have added Translator override for File to include "Encoding Property to UTF-8" so similarly we should be able to set it to "UTF-8-BOM" , instead of writing code manually to add BOM to generate a file.
