Created attachment 53130 [details] File save with Kate which is supposed to be in the UTF-16 encoding, but not detected as such by other softwares. Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.2) OS: Linux When I save a file as UTF-16, then other programs disagree on the encoding, whereas this problem does not occur with UTF-8 and ISO 8859-1 files save with Kate. 'file' reports for three files created with Kate: $ file *.txt iso8859-1.txt: ISO-8859 text, with no line terminators utf16.txt: data utf8.txt: UTF-8 Unicode text, with no line terminators While the Java icu4j reports the utf16.txt file as ISO-8859-1. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Create a file with non-ASCII chars, choose save as and select the UTF-16 encoding in the save-as dialog. Actual Results: The file is not saved as UTF-16. Expected Results: A files saved as UTF-16. OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.35-22-generic Compiler: cc
