VIM removal of Unicode ('bomb')

[Noam Rathaus]

I am using:
VIM - Vi IMproved 6.1 (2002 Mar 24, compiled Jan 15 2003 08:05:27)

And I have a few unicode characters (unicode encoding 'bomb'/marker) at the 
beginning of the file that I want to remove.
0000000 bbef 3cbf 4421 434f 5954 4550 6820 6d74

I m referring to 0xbb, 0xef, 0x3c, 0xbf

I would to remove them, but opening the file with vim doesn't show them - as 
they are markers it hides.

Can anyone help me get rid of them?

Any solution (not just using VIM) would be great.
