title: vbs file saved as utf-8 does not run
body: <p>I have been writing a vbs script in notepad that adds text to an excel file, and this is working fine.</p>
  
  <p>I then needed to write unicode characters to the excel file, so saved the vbs file as unicode and again all worked fine.</p>
  
  <p>I am noe trying to write the file dynamically from another program, which is possible, but it writes the unicode vbs file as utf-8 formatting, and then when I try to run the vbs file, it gives an error 
  saying error:invalid character
  code:800A0408
  Source:microsoft VBScript compilation error</p>
  
  <p>Does this mean I cannot run a file saved as utf-8 formatting, or am I missing something?</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be gratefully received!</p>
