I'm trying to read a file that if the encoding selected is enc"UTF-8" it starts with "\ufeff". In Python the solution was to use "utf-8-sig" .

AFAICT iconv doesn't support that. I guess we could special-case that encoding and remove the '\ufeff' byte-order mark if it's present, but that wouldn't be super pretty. It will be simpler for you to just skip the first character (then you don't even need StringEncodings).

That's what I ended up doing, thanks!
