Adding a UTF-8 file with BOM in a Project results in removing the leading BOM codes when using Rational Synergy

Troubleshooting


Problem

Attempts to add an ASCII type file with UTF-8 character encoding and byte order mark (BOM) in a Project results in removing the leading BOM codes (0xEF 0xBB 0xBF) when using IBM Rational Synergy.

Symptom

A development tool (for example: Microsoft Visual Studio ) integrated with Rational Synergy does not recognize the file.
