Does Micro support UTF-16?

[silicontrip]

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

Windows default text file format seems to be UTF-16. When opening one of these text files I get a "double spaced" display . I've tried -fileformat utf-16 but without any luck.

I've searched google for the answer but words like Micro and utf-16 and text editor seems to give me a bunch of irrelevant hits.

Thanks.

Micro now supports arbitrary encodings via the encoding option.
