Hi all,

If someone sends me a text file marked charset=ISO-10646-UCS-2
or charset=ISO-10646-UCS-4, should an initial BOM in this file have
the same meaning as a BOM in UTF-16/32?

In other words are UCS-2 and UCS-4 character encoding schemes?
Or do the UCS-2/4 only exist as CEFs UCS-2BE, UCS-2LE, UCS-4BE
and UCS-4LE.

Theo
