To work around the issue, you will need to use a text editor which allows the ability to interpret Big-Endian encoding. Notepad is a low level text editor which can interpret text files encoded in Big-Endian, but does not allow the use of different language characters or any formatting. Unicode encoding is similar to Little-endian.
If the text file requires the use of different language characters or additional formatting, it is recommended to use Microsoft Word or some third party text editing application that provides this support.
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
Open Notepad
Enter some text i.e. “This is a test.”
Select Save As from the File drop-down menu
Choose a location, file name, and Save as type (leave the default Text Documents (*.txt)
Change the Encoding by clicking the drop down arrow and choose Unicode big endian
And click Save
Open the file in WordPad
The result will display numerous Asian characters
