Error codes

RF_006: UTF-8 byte-order mark present (accepted by the ESAs, rejected by some portals)

Note

What triggers it

A file starts with the UTF-8 byte-order mark (Excel adds one when saving as CSV UTF-8).

How to fix it

Nothing to do for the ESAs, who accept it. Some national portals and older tools reject it; the Roifile packager removes it.
