By Unicode signature, I'm guessing you mean the BOM? That problem seems to have been easily dealt with by simply deciding to allow it in UTF-8. It doesn't appear to have caused any problems in practice today. I don't know what you problems you refer to with "representation of non-BMP characters". UTF-8 precisely specifies how these characters are represented. There's no issue here.
