Just for clarification, that's known as a BOM (byte order mark).   It's
(sometimes) allowed but definitely not needed for UTF-8, and as noted
below, can cause issues for some software:

No idea if it is expected to work in Nginx or not.  Perhaps the easiest
solution would be to edit the files in something that doesn't generate
the BOM.
