no support for source encoding UTF16 (LE/BE)

[FredoVelcro-zz]

Hello,
It does not work with UTF16 source encoding.
How to solve this ? (very hard task)
Thanks
Best regards

@FredoVelcro you can use UTF8::encode(), it will use UTF8::str_detect_encoding() in the background to detect UTF-16 and UTF-32.

I hope this will help you && happy coding!

Sadly UTF-16 can still not be read correctly with neitanod/forceutf8

@voku Does this mean that UTF8::encode() is a drop-in replacement for

forceutf8/src/ForceUTF8/Encoding.php

Line 333 in c1fbe70

public static function encode($encodingLabel, $text)

?

Hmm, with both ways I get the same result when reading this example-utf16le.csv. The column ItemDescPL contains some special characters which do not work (while the french special characters work perfectly with both libraries).
I get WBa[ciwo[ci antybakteryjne instead of Właściwości antybakteryjne

Have resolved it with PHP Streams:

$fileHandle = fopen('file-csv','rb');
stream_filter_append($this->stream, 'convert.iconv.UTF-16LE/UTF-8');
$data = fgetcsv($handle, 0, ';');
