I’ve found that when LiveCode saves the stack script file, it adds a Byte Order Mark (BOM) to denote the file is UTF-8 encoded. If the BOM is not present when you start using such a library stack, the engine will treat it as being natively encoding. I have found that to be true with both the IDE and Server engines. So if you want to create script only stacks in an external editor make sure that the editor adds a BOM when you save the file. If you write scripts to run with LiveCode Server that start with a shebang line, be aware that they do not work if there is a BOM present.
