I don't know what you want to achieve so this may be irrelevant, but you could always use a hex editor to see and edit the raw representation of your file.

As far as I know, you can't show/visualize the BOM in Notepad++.
The menu View > Show Symbol > Show All Characters doesn't include the 0xFEFF character.
Following up from Abdull's comment above was able to view ff fe or ÿþ as the Unicode big endian (BE) byte order mark in the N++ hex plugin for N++ (v6.88). Once the plugin is installed click Plugins > View in Hex.

As a side note you should be looking for ef bb bf (characters ) in UTF-8 Jul 6, 2017 at 10:23
vim (in either textual or graphic mode) can show all control characters if you
:set list. The BOM is a special case, controlled by the:set bombor:set nobombcommands.
Copied from here, thank you Alex Martelli.

This is for whoever is trying to find these annoying characters and filter em out.
In between the parenthesis there are 10 BOM charaters (aka 0xFEFF [e2 80 8b] \xEF\xBB\xBF) and this image shows how to find them.
In n++ Find: \u200b
