[icu-support] about UnicodeBig and UnicodeLittle

[Tony W. <wuy...@gm...>]

Hi all,
I tried com.ibm.icu.charset.CharsetICU.forName("UnicodeBig") in
ICU4j3.6 and it threw an UnsupportedCharsetException.

I noticed that the behavior of UTF-16 in 3.6 is almost the same as the
UnicodeBig[1], Is it reasonable to map UnicodeBig to UTF-16?  By the
way the UnicodeLittle[2] is the same as the UTF-16 in version 3.4.
Highly appreciate if you can support these two charsets.

Correct me if I am wrong :)

[1]
UnicodeBig
 Sixteen-bit Unicode Transformation Format, big-endian byte order,
with byte-order mark

[2]
UnicodeLittle
 Sixteen-bit Unicode Transformation Format, little-endian byte order,
with byte-order mark
