If you use wordpad and save as a text document (not unicode text) then you 
don't get the 3 bytes added. A quick look with HexEdit shows what is 
actually in the file.

When requested to saved in Unicode format (UTF-8 or 16), Notepad adds a 2, 
3 
or 4-byte long "Byte Order Mark" (BOM) header to the file data (for more 
information: http://www.unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html)
Some parsers handle this header correctly (Xerces) some don't (Crimson).
