1) Not all unicode files have a BOM. Result: this will actually remove content of such files.
2) Not all BOMs are 2 bytes, they can be 4 bytes too.... Result: there will be 2 bytes left in the output which don't belong to the actual 'textual' contents of the file.
see MSDN docs about unicode file handling.

ReadString will read x bytes

aka: this will not return x bytes (inlcuding null bytes), but still will only be returning up to the first null byte (and if no null bytes exist,
then it will return only x bytes).
You must use ReadBSTR for this if the contents is unicode. If the contents is ansi, you first must convert it to unicode in order to use ReadBSTR.
