utf-8 file encoding characters

I ran into a problem at first that prevented the files from being read properly. I'm using TecKit, a program that can quickly convert files from code-page encodings to various unicode formats. It places three characters at the beginning of the file to indicate that this is a utf-8 encoded file (in hex 'EF BB BF'). MS programs add these characters as well when saving to a unicode text format. I had to manually remove these characters before Sword would recognize the conf files and include the Thai language as an option. This makes it difficult for Windows users to create their own UI files as it is not obvious what is causing the problem.
