Notepad++ visibility for BOM
I don't know what you want to achieve so this may be irrelevant, but you could always use a hex editor to see and edit the raw representation of your file.
As far as I know, you can't show/visualize the BOM in Notepad++.
The menu View
> Show Symbol
> Show All Characters
doesn't include the 0xFEFF
character.
Following up from Abdull's comment above was able to view ff fe
or ÿþ
as the Unicode big endian (BE) byte order mark in the N++ hex plugin for N++ (v6.88). Once the plugin is installed click Plugins > View in Hex.
