I have a UTF-16 LE file and at the beginning it has a BOM.
How do I remove this using C++? I've seen many Python examples.
Ultimately I would like it to be a UTF-8.

How can I remove the BOM from a UTF-16 LE file in C++?
The size of UTF-16 BOM is 2 bytes. You can remove the BOM by copying all bytes except the first two that contain the BOM into a new file. Replace the old file with the new.

1@JeffR You don't need to "bit-shift". Why do you think that's inefficient? – eerorika Feb 10 '21 at 14:33

I thought there might be a one-function lower-level function to do it. – JeffR Feb 10 '21 at 14:51

@JeffR There isn't. – eerorika Feb 10 '21 at 14:55
