A "byte order mark" (BOM) is a sequence of bytes used to indicate the Unicode encoding style of a text file. The encoding dictates how text is serialized into a sequence of bytes. If the least significant byte is placed in the initial position, this is referred to as "little-endian," whereas if the most significant byte is placed in the initial position, the method is known as "big-endian." In addition to indicating the byte order, a BOM can also be used as a file signature to identify the encoding of a text file. The UTF-8 file signature (commonly also referred to as a "BOM") identifies the encoding format rather than the byte order of the document. UTF-8 is a linear sequence of bytes (not a sequence of 2-byte or 4-byte units where the byte order is important as in UTF-16 and UTF-32). The following table shows the byte-order marks for various encodings. BOM use is optional. If used, it must be at the very beginning of the text. The BOM gives the producer of the text a way to describe the encoding such as UTF-8 or UTF-16, and in the case of UTF-16 and UTF-32, its endianness. The BOM is important for text interchange, when files move between systems that use different byte orders or different encodings, rather than in normal text handling in a closed environment. As UTF-8 has become the most common text encoding, codice_1 (shown here as three hexadecimal values) is the most commonly occurring BOM form, also known as the "UTF-8 signature". HTML5 browsers are required to recognize the UTF-8 BOM and use it to detect the encoding of the page. Software may alternatively recognize UTF-8 encoding by looking for bytes with the high order bit set (values codice_2 through codice_3) followed by bytes that define valid UTF-8 sequences. The Unicode Standard neither requires nor recommends the use of the BOM for UTF-8, but warns that it may be encountered at the start of a file. Most modern software applications recognize a BOM and may insert it when saving a

Each main event match of the card was contested as a Hell in a Cell match. "Hell in a Cell" was chosen over "No Escape", "Locked Up" and "Rage in a Cage". Since it began, the event has been held only in indoor arenas in the United States. Championship matches happened on every card. Under the brand extension, WWE assigned its performers to either Raw or SmackDown, which caused matches to be set up between wrestlers on the same show (except for the 2011–2015 events, since there was no brand split then).  The 2022 event was the last Hell in a Cell event produced, as it was replaced by Night of Champions in 2023. However, in 2024, WWE brought back the Bad Blood event, which featured the Hell in a Cell match as the main event. Concept. In this PPV, all main events were fought as Hell in a Cell matches, in which the ring and ringside area were surrounded by a 20-foot high roofed cell structure. This type of match had no disqualifications or countouts, and the escape rule from steel cage matches also did not apply. The only way to win was by pinfall or submission inside the ring. References.

Impatiens is a genus of about 850–1,000 species of flowering plants, widely distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere and tropics. Together with "Hydrocera triflora", they make up the family Balsaminaceae.  These plants derives their scientific name "Impatiens" (Latin for "impatient") and the common name "touch-me-not" in reference to their seed capsules. When the capsules mature, they 'explode' when touched, sending seeds several metres away. This mechanism is also known as "explosive dehiscence"; see also rapid plant movement. Impatiens have become one of the most popular garden annuals. Hybrids, typically derived from "Busy Lizzie" (the well-known "I. walleriana") and the New Guinea Impatiens ("I. hawkeri"), have commercial importance as garden plants. "I. walleriana" is native to East Africa, and was bred through selection by Claude Hope. The original series of impatiens bred by Hope was the 'Elfin' series of cultivars, later improved as the 'Super Elfin' series. Double-flowered cultivars also exist. But in tropical islands, such as Hawaiʻi, Busy Lizzie can also become a noxious weed.
Touch me not is a common name for two unrelated groups of plants: The biblical Latin phrase Noli me tangere, which appears in John 20:17, is translated as "Touch me not".
