Me too, but I can't think of a way to do them. Can you?
Well, one way would be to run a UTF-8 encoded \ufeff through iconv and
see what comes out. But that only tells you about the UTF-8->UCS-2
conversion path. It is possible, I suppose, that different conversion
paths do different things. Testing is required before making this
assumption.
