Try putting the BOM before the unicode and then convert to UTF-8.

(BTW, as you probably noticed, I got the bytes swapped in my earlier 
suggestion for creating the BOM.  The principle still might work.

function bom
   set the useUnicode to true
   return numToChar(abs(baseConvert("FEFF",16,10)))
end if

Or something like that.

Or simply use the three byte UTF-8 version.)
