[issue14452] SysLogHandler sends invalid messages when using unicode

[Tim Golden]

Tim Golden <mail at timgolden.me.uk> added the comment:

It's used by some systems (Windows Notepad does this
if you save as UTF8) to indicate that the byte stream
*is* UTF8-encoded. It's not so much a BOM as a magic cookie.

I can't speak for syslog, I'm afraid
