      • removeBOM

        public static String removeBOM​(String value)
        A String might have some byte order mark preceding the string (for example InputStreamReader might include this). These are not visible in the string but do change the underlying bytes compared to a string without this BOM and comparing them will fail despite looking identical. This method will remove the BOM from a copy of this string which is returned.
        Parameters:
        value - to remove BOM from
        Returns:
        BOM-less copy
