From Wikipedia:
> The Unicode Standard permits the BOM in UTF-8, but does not require nor recommend its use. Byte order has no meaning in UTF-8.
Starting version 3.x of npmjs.com/strip-bom doesn't support node below v4,

``
$ npm install --save stripbom
`js
const stripBom = require('stripbom');
stripBom('\uFEFFunicorn');
