I have a file encoded in Latin-1 which begins with LATIN SMALL LETTER
Y WITH DIAERESIS followed by LATIN SMALL LETTER THORN. I also have a
file encoded in EBCDIC (okay, I don't really, but let's pretend) that
begins with the same bytes. But of course, when such a mark exists,
there is no possible error - of that there is no manner of doubt, no
possible, probable shadow of doubt, no possible doubt whatever.
