Sometimes it is necessary to read right to the end of an answer: Q: Why do some of the UTFs have a BE or LE in their label, such as UTF-16LE? A: [snip] the unmarked form uses big-endian byte serialization by default, but may include a byte order mark at the beginning to indicate the actual byte serialization used. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
