There are (at least) two ways:

1. Create an empty file (b) containing only

	<!-- -*- mode: Text; coding: utf-16-be; -*- -->

   and cat the original file (a) into that (cat a >> b).

2. Temporarily set:

	   (setq default-buffer-file-coding-system 'utf-16-be)
	   (set-default-coding-systems			 'utf-16-be)
	   (prefer-coding-system				 'utf-16-be)

    (Copy into *scratch* buffer, mark region, eval-region.)
