As per the upstream author : UTF16LE or UTF16BE tells that it's unicode (Gammu support both). I use Unicode in localisation data to avoid such problem: in the OS of somebody, who will make localisation data for X language, there is set different codepage than in my PC. But my codepage contains the same chars too. Using Unicode allows to avoid problems - on my PC all chars are displayed correctly too. I can open it in Unicode editor and see correct accent, etc. chars
