Mine, too. > Does the UTF-16-LE file written by NotePad include a BOM I tried that on XP, and the file does include a correct BOM. (Btw, Notepad doesn't call the encoding "UTF-16-LE", it calls it "Unicode".) I asked for the OP's Windows version to see whether it's some Windows problem. The version of the OP's Emacs (what Emacs displays if you type "M-x emacs-version RET") would also help understand what might be the problem.
