9	utf8_uri_encode test data includes BOM caused test failure	akky	westi	"From #WP6690. created by nacin.
----
In WordPress unit test,

[http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-tests/wp-testdata/jacob/utf-8.txt  wordpress-tests/wp-testdata/jacob/utf-8.txt]

has UTF-8 BOM at the beginning of the file so that testcase 

[http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-tests/wp-testcase/jacob/TestFormatting.php wordpress-tests/wp-testcase/jacob/TestFormatting.php]
Test_UTF8_URI_Encode::test_percent_encodes_non_reserved_characters()

fails. Because BOM code (0xef, 0xbb, 0xbf. for UTF-8) is tried to be url encoded.

[http://unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html#BOM BOM] should not be included in this kind of test data.

You may take out the first 3 bytes from the test file, or UTF-8 compliant editor usually has an option letting you choose whether you use BOM or not for UTF text. I think turn off the option (no BOM) is better in most case.

I confirmed after taking BOM the test case worked fine."	defect	closed	normal	Fix Existing Tests	Test Framework	fixed	has-patch
