Unfortunately many other programmers had the same wrong idea or they were just lazy. The result anyway is a lot of broken UTF-16 code out there.
Yeah, I see that even in commercial products and projects. It's very sad to see. Hence I always promote UTF-8, and you can't get it wrong as easily as UTF-16. No endianess to worry about, no surrogate pairs and UTF-8 is ready for streaming (network or disk) out of the box.
