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 ?
i.e Encoding Beck as BOM Big Endian would be
FE FF 00 62 00 65 00 63 00 6B
and BOM little Endian would be
FF FE 62 00 65 00 63 00 6B 00
Seems Big Endian might be better because wouldn't cause a load of
unsynchronization if unsynchronizations was enabled.
But I know Macs and Pcs tend to default to the opposite for this sort of
stuff
