BOM is not necessary.
In Windows, you can also create a utf-8 encoded *.wsf file.

Confirming.

austin@hyrule:~/Downloads$ wine wscript.exe utf16le.vbs 
0118:fixme:vbscript:do_icall L"m" not found
0118:fixme:wscript:ActiveScriptSite_OnScriptError ()

and no msgbox pops up. With an ascii source file, it works:
austin@hyrule:~/Downloads$ wine wscript.exe foo.vbs 
00f4:fixme:imm:ImeSetActiveContext (0x46a9b8, 1): stub
00f4:fixme:imm:ImmReleaseContext (0001005E, 0046A9B8): stub
0050:fixme:imm:ImeSetActiveContext (0x4aa3a0, 0): stub
0050:fixme:imm:ImmReleaseContext (00010020, 004AA3A0): stub

austin@hyrule:~/Downloads$ cat foo.vbs 
msgbox("hello")

Thank you for working on it. I also hope to execute UTF-8 encoded scripts, with
or without BOM.
