FWIW the procedure I had was:
(define (consume-byte-order-mark port)
(let ((enc (or (port-encoding port) "ISO-8859-1")))
(set-port-encoding! port "ISO-8859-1")
(case (peek-char port)
((#\xEF)
(read-char port)
(case (peek-char port)
((#\xBB)
(read-char port)
(case (peek-char port)
((#\xBF)
(read-char port)
(set-port-encoding! port "UTF-8"))
(else
(unread-char #\xBB port)
(unread-char #\xEF port)
(set-port-encoding! port enc))))
(else
(unread-char #\xEF port)
(set-port-encoding! port enc))))
((#\xFE)
(read-char port)
(case (peek-char port)
((#\xFF)
(read-char port)
(set-port-encoding! port "UTF-16BE"))
(else
(unread-char #\xFE port)
(set-port-encoding! port enc))))
((#\xFF)
(read-char port)
(case (peek-char port)
((#\xFE)
(read-char port)
(set-port-encoding! port "UTF-16LE"))
(else
(unread-char #\xFF port)
(set-port-encoding! port enc))))
(else
(set-port-encoding! port enc)))))
The encoding dance is because there is no unread-u8 from Scheme, only
unread-char.
