There's never been anything preventing a file from containing and beginning with U+FFFE. It's just not a very useful thing to do, hence not very likely.

Subject: UTF-16 Encoding Scheme and U+FFFE
How do I read definition D98 in TUS Version 6.3.0 Chapter 3 to prohibit a file in the UTF-16 encoding scheme from starting with U+FFFE? Or is
U+FFFE actually allowed to start such a file?
Is an implementation that deduces the encoding scheme of a plain text file from a leading BOM to be characterised as reckless?
Richard.
