Support for Unicode files

[Paul Schauble]

That's too bad. Is there any chance of adding support?

I develop internationalized software for Windows. For example, my 
current project contains files in Simplified Chinese, Greek, German, 
English, and chezkoslovakian. All these are coded in UTF-16LE.
