> HTML files are detected as utf-16 when meta content is set to "unicode".
> {code:XML}
> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset="unicode">
>  {code}
>  
> Shouldn't the default be utf-8?
> The attached sample file is shown correctly in:
> Chromium Version 55.0.2883.75
> Firefox 50.1.0
> IE 11
> I am aware that there is no charset "unicode" (available character encodings: [http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets/character-sets.xhtml|http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets/character-sets.xhtml])
> Unfortunately there are many wrong encodings used out there.
> All unknown encodings should be validated or at least be set to default utf-8.
> Regards 
> Andreas
