Where is it coming from?
There's nothing about that in WriteBOM nor LoadFromFile
http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/Rio/en/System.Classes.TStrings.WriteBOM

http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/Rio/en/System.Classes.TStrings.LoadFromFile


>From Delphi 10.3
WriteBOM is set to true, by default.
LoadFromFile doesn't affect the value in any manner (no matter if BOM is
present in the file or not).
(looking at the delphi code, doesn't suggest that WriteBOM is being changed
in any manner either)

thanks,
