Maybe other monks have current data, but I recall times where Windows editors like Notepad and Notepad++ saved "Unicode" files under UTF-16-BE
While I'm pretty sure that's accurate for older versions of notepad.exe (it matches my memory; though as of current Win10 1903, even that shows choices for the encoding, including UTF-8 and UTF-16 BE/LE), that's not correct for Notepad++. In modern Notepad++ (v7.7.1), and as far back as I could try* (v4.0 from Jan 2007), Notepad++ has listed separate encodings for UTF-8, UCS-2 LE, and UCS-2 BE, not calling any of them the generic "Unicode" name.
(*: I tried most major versions backwards in time, and all agreed in the results. When I tried v3.0 from 2005, it wouldn't even run on my machine, so I didn't go any farther back than that.)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
