[PD] un-routable output from [text get]

[Antoine Rousseau]

Your text file has been UTF8 encoded, and starts with a "byte order mark"
(BOM) {0xEF 0xBB 0xBF}, which then is rejected by [route].

see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark#UTF-8 :

The UTF-8 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8> representation of the BOM
> is the byte sequence 0xEF,0xBB,0xBF. A text editor or web browser
> misinterpreting the text as ISO-8859-1
> <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO-8859-1> or CP1252
> <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CP1252> will display the characters 
> for this.
