The earlier post had an attached text file that did not go through.
I hope this link works. I tested it with a coworker, but that is no guarantee.

Dear R-help,
I am having trouble reading a UTF-16LE formatted file. The issue appears to
be a byte order mark at the beginning of the file. I have tried readLines(file,
encoding='utf-16LE') but that got me
[1]"\xff\xfe1" "" "" "" "" ""
This is a tab delimited text
When you specify LE you are overriding any useful information that the BOM
could convey... see

There are two ways you could encounter an encoding in R.
First are encoding markers placed on every string object, which declare
the string to be encoded in UTF-8, Latin-1, the native locale
