I am reading a UTF-16LE file as bytes and sending it to the CRichEditControl. I find that if the BOM is present, the edit control does not display its context correctly.
My question: is it my responsibility to strip the BOM, or is there some option that I need to set differently on the edit control?
You should always send data to the rich edit control as UTF-16 LE because that’s the standard Windows uses for all strings. The BOM isn’t a valid UTF-16 character so you should strip it off.
