I put this in a test HTML file:
<HTML><META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-16">
IE5.5 identified that as "Unicode." However, it displayed all text after
that point as if it were UTF-8. The same thing happened with <HTML><META
http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-32">.
