    _______________________________________________________

Details:

Some platforms only support unlabeled content, the same systems may have tools
which are expecting Big Endian and other (native) tools expecting Little
Endian.

As such it is most appropriate to use UTF-16, without labeling, with a BOM,
and in the Little Endian byte order.
