The byte-order mark (BOM) in HTML

What is the byte-order mark, and what do I need to know about it when creating HTML?
www.w3.org

In HTML5 browsers are required to recognize the UTF-8 BOM and use it to detect the encoding of the page

\XF\Http\Metadata does not detect UTF-8 BOM and might incorrectly fallback to windows-1252 if a website does not explicitly specify an encoding which does cause problems like https://xenforo.com/community/threads/links-from-microsofts-turkey-site-are-scrambled.167767/
