And it seems important to correct the problem, especially when it come to lyrics and any other language than English... It depends on the browser. With Safari on Mac, both display correctly, which in addition has a menu to set the text encoding, but “Default” works fine. Firefox shows the first incorrectly, possibly because it does not interpret .ly files as plain text. In general, it is bad to add BOMs to UTF-8 files, as it has no meaning, and software is in general unaware of it. Another workaround might be to post .txt files instead.
