Newer Perforce clients use the P4ENVIRO setting, so setting
P4_perforce:1666_CHARSET=none is the correct setting, and it will be created
automatically.

But from the double BOM you are seeing, you are probably running into a utf BOM
sent client older than 2015.2.

To fix this
1. Find all the utf-8 files
2. Look at the file and remove extra BOM characters
3. Submit the file to a  Perforce server with the latest 2017.1 patch
using a newer client at 2015.2 or later.
