Request for information or clarification. Not an issue.
Big-query allows to export to CSV. Supported encoding is UTF-8.
It's good, because allows to work with non Latin characters.

It's not hard to fix an issue adding option to add BOM to export.
Or probably there is some workaround?
I tried to add BOM to column name, to have BOM character be a first letter in first column. Unfortunate for me BQ prohibits usage of special characters in column names.
