By following the install instructions at: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/#create-a-configuration-file, users may create files with marked with the BOM (Byte order mark), and encode the file in UTF-16. MongoDB throws an error instead of accepting file.
Example config:
systemLog:
destination: file
path: c:\data\log\mongod.log
storage:
dbPath: c:\data\db
when saved as Unicode in Notepad on Windows it is stored as:
