> Would you like me to add tests for UTF-16-LE, etc. (via a helper test method), or will UTF-16 alone suffice?

You can use a loop insteadd of an helper function.

I fail to see other encoding having the same issue, except the UTF-32 family (utf-32, utf-32-le, utf-32-be).

I don't think that writing a test for the 6 codecs is required, you can use utf-16 and utf-32-be. So you test without BOM and with BOM, and utf-16 and utf-32.
