 | `''`    | U+FEFF (Byte Order Mark - BOM)           | has the important property of unambiguity on byte reorder. It is also zerowidth, and invisible. In non-complying software (like the PHP interpreter) this leads to all sorts of fun behaviour. |
 | `'￯'`    | '\\uFFEF' Reversed Byte Order Mark (BOM) | does not equate to a legal character, other than the beginning of text.                                                                                                                        |
