    No, no! In UTF-16LE, if the first two bytes are FF FE, that means an
    actual ZWNBSP character. (Analogously in UTF-16BE.) The whole point
    of the charsets "UTF-16LE" and "UTF-16BE" is that there is no BOM.
    In the charset "UTF-16", however, there may or may not be a BOM.

To say that Bilbo's breath was taken away is no description at all.  There
are no words left to express his staggerment, since Men changed the language
that they learned of elves in the days when all the world was wonderful.
