The replacement would be for UTF-16BE as in the package. It would be helpful to add a remark that contrary to what the package name suggests, the replacement is different for UTF-16LE or UTF8 or other encodings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark.

Just checked and it is basically used only by 4 packages so it probably doesn't make sense to add this package to replacements
