> ??? So, what is "UCS-2BE"?

BE means "big-endian".  The more significant byte is stored first, 
followed by the less significant byte.  Also known as "network byte 
order".

UCS-2LE is what most people actually use on x86-based computers.  The 
less significant byte arrives before the more significant one in each 
16-bit quantity.
