Perhaps it listens to a BOM?

It would mean you have to initialize your textfile before
editing with some utility like awk:

---- BOF file initutf.cmd ---- linewrapped by mail !!
@echo off
echo Build a few common BOM prefixed UTF files

echo BOM for UTF-8
awk "BEGIN{printf(\"\xEF\xBB\xBFUTF-8\"); exit 0}" >utf8.txt

echo BOM for UTF-16 Little Endian
awk
"BEGIN{printf(\"\xFF\xFE\x55\x00\x54\x00\x46\x00\x2D\x00\x31\x00\x36\x00\x4C\x00\x45\x00\");
exit 0}" >utf16LE.txt

echo BOM for UTF-16 Big Endian
awk
"BEGIN{printf(\"\xFE\xFF\x00\x55\x00\x54\x00\x46\x00\x2D\x00\x31\x00\x36\x00\x42\x00\x45\");
exit 0}" >utf16BE.txt

---- EOF file initutf.cmd ----

(tested, works with notepad.exe v5.1.2600.2180 Dutch)
