@charset is stripped from the css

[domenkozar]

Given main.css:

@charset "UTF-8";

div {
	margin: 0;
}

It strips @charset:

❯ yarn run parcel build main.css
yarn run v1.22.19
warning package.json: No license field
$ /home/domen/dev/parcel-repro-css-charset/node_modules/.bin/parcel build main.css
✨ Built in 136ms

dist/main.css    51 B    31ms
Done in 0.57s.

❯ cat dist/main.css
div{margin:0}
/*# sourceMappingURL=main.css.map */

workaround

    file=$(ls dist/index*.css)
    echo -e "@charset "UTF-8";\n$(cat $file)" > $file
