Editing Byte order mark (section)

===UTF-32===
Although a BOM could be used with [[UTF-32]], this encoding is rarely used for transmission. Otherwise the same rules as for [[UTF-16]] are applicable.

The BOM for little-endian UTF-32 is the same pattern as a little-endian UTF-16 BOM followed by a UTF-16 NUL character, an unusual example of the BOM being the same pattern in two different encodings. Programmers using the BOM to identify the encoding will have to decide whether UTF-32 or UTF-16 with a NUL first character is more likely.
