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.
