But nano can, just like those other editors, remove the invisible BOM:
when on the first line of the file, press <Home> and <Delete>, and save,
and the BOM is gone.  Does this not work for you?

Title:
  No option to save without BOM (Byte Order Mark)

Status in nano package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This may be a wishlist type bug.

  Currently, Nano in precise saves with BOM (Byte Order Mark) by
  default.  There is no way within nano to save without BOM, which
  requires me to download remote server documents to this system and
  then update and reupload the documents after using gedit, kate, or
  some other editor.

  This sometimes screws up remote PHP programs and scripts, which means
  it may be prudent to give the option to decide whether to save with or
  without the Byte Order Mark.
