Shouldn't matter. The BOM indicates which convention was used, and so any decent decoder should be able to handle both UTF-16 types...<div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div>Pyt.<br>

When encoding string as UTF-16 (i.e UTF with BOM) which is the most compatible choice Little Endian or Big Endian, should you chnage default based on what latform you are on ?<br>
<br>
i.e Encoding Beck as BOM Big Endian would be<br>
FE FF 00 62 00 65 00 63 00 6B<br>
<br>
and BOM little Endian would be<br>
FF FE 62 00 65 00 63 00 6B 00<br>
<br>
Seems Big Endian might be better because wouldn't cause a load of unsynchronization if unsynchronizations was enabled.<br>
<br>
But I know Macs and Pcs tend to default to the opposite for this sort of stuff<br>
