I have been a long time Notepad++ user and really enjoy using the program. However, we have started using UTF-16 for encoding on files at work which means I can no longer edit them with Notepad++.
I know there is UTF-8 support, what if any plans are there for UTF-16 support? or is this a Scintilla issue?
I did search and find the one thread related to UTF-16 but most of the posts were empty.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Notepad++ supports UCS-2, which is like UTF-16 but does not support characters outside plane 0 (BMP or basic multilingual plane), that is characters with code points above FFFF (requires a pair of 16bit codes in UTF-16).

Use a font that supports UTF-16 in the first place.
You can encode and edit files in both UTF-16LE and UTF-16BE… What is the issue you are hitting,

For me with UTF-16 it should up like <char>NULL<char>NULL and choosing any encoding doesn't seem to fix it...</char></char>
