  If you want to specify the endianness explicitly, you can add 'LE' and
'BE'.

   So do Perl Encode module and native2ascii distributed with JDK. See
'man Encode' and 'man  encoding' if you have Perl 5.8 installed.
In case of native2ascii, you have to chain two together.

   native2ascii -encoding UTF-16  input | \
    native2ascii -reverse -encoding UTF-8  > output

  See
