Title:
  Saving as UTF-16/UCS-2 does not include the BOM character

Status in Light-Weight Text Editor for Gnome:
  Fix Released
Status in gedit package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gedit

  Usually when saving a file as UTF-16 and UCS-2, a BOM character will be inserted at the start of the file. This does not happen in gedit.
  The BOM would be 0xFFFE for LE and 0xFEFF for BE. Inserting the character is optional in UTF-16 but recommended. It is also required in UCS-2.

  This is version 2.28.3
