It is UTF-8, but it starts with EF BB BF, the UTF-8 encoding of the FFFE 
endianness indicator (as written on an Intel machine, obviously.  A Motorola
machine would use EF BF BE)  We could easily interpret the presence of those
three bytes as an implicit UTF-8 charmap, and infer the endianness of the
other UTF-8 characters in the file at the same time.
