ol' ASCII aka 8 BIT ?

Example of files contents

 0 255 254
 2  60   0
 4  72   0
 6  84   0
 8  77   0
10  76   0
12  62   0

or ..

0000000 377 376   <  \0   H  \0   T  \0   M  \0   L  \0   >  \0  \n  \0
0000020      \0      \0   <  \0   B  \0   O  \0   D  \0   Y  \0   >  \0
0000040  \n

Can you open the file in vim?

If I try a UTF-16 encoded file in vim, it shows the file correctly.

You can then set:

:set fileencoding=utf-8

and write out the file again (as a new file) to eliminate the NULL's.
