155184 - add UTF-16LE/BE character codings to menus

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 55300

(Core :: Internationalization, enhancement)

Description

[[e-mail]]

I have a document that doesn't display in UTF-16LE by default for whatever
reason. Now I have another document which is in UTF-16LE which displays
correctly and also displays UTF-16LE in the Character Coding menu. Only now that
I've displayed an existing UTF-16LE document can I force this original document
to UTF-16LE as there wasn't any option on the menus previously.

Does the doc contain <meta charset> tag?

>there wasn't any option on the menus
As far as I know it's designed that way.

No it's a text document.

Oh well. At least I have a workaround now.

If the document is local, then the likely cause of this is absence of BOM.
If it is received via HTTP which specifies it's MIME type as UTF-16, then this
is  bug 68738.
UTF-XXXX charset inclusion is menus is bug 55300.
