The location part of your question is easy: The (BOM) will be at the very beginning of the file.When editing the file, go to File Advanced Save Options. And you should find an 'Encoding' drop-down (along with a 'Line endings' drop-down). It's probably set to use 'Unicode (UTF-8 with signature) - Codepage 65001'. If you scroll down a fair bit, you can find 'Unicode (UTF-8 without signature) - Codepage 65001'. That should do it (if you want to). Some systems may be confused by a BOM on a UTF-8 file, as the warning indicates.See also in the Unicode site's FAQ about the BOM and UTF-8 files.

Removal from HTML FilesWhen faced with the bom character problem, many webpage developers try setting encoding of their page to “charset=utf-8” through meta property. But doing this does not mean that you will not face the BOM problem. If a BOM character is causing problems in your HTML display -the problem actually lies in the text editor and not in your HTML/CSS code.Most HTML editors, like Dreamweaver, TextPad etc., do provide a way to disable BOM. The option usually appears in the place where you set the encoding of your text editor. It may appear as options like “UTF-8 without BOM” or “UTF-8 No BOM”.Appearance of character in your HTML code can also be solved using the above encoding change in HTML editor. Just set the encoding without BOM and then save the file.
