When I followed quickstart and used 'echo' in Powershell: echo "console.log('Hello, world')" > app/logger.js

This new logger.js file cannot be used by brunch:

18:05:26 - error: Compiling of app/logger.js failed. Error: SyntaxError: app/logger.js: 
Unexpected character '�' (1:0)

Stack trace was suppressed. Run with `LOGGY_STACKS=1` to see the trace.

Looks like a UTF-16 file with Byte Order Mark. http://i.imgur.com/9fF1i1b.png

Hey @decafbad, thanks for reporting & improving Brunch.

Indeed, Brunch should strip BOM. Will fix in 3.0.
