You haven't mentioned what encoding the browser claimed when uploading the
file. For this to work, the browser needs to upload the file with
metadata like this:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-16

I don't think my main browser would get the upload part right. It tends
to be guesswork on most systems as filesystem metadata (etc) are not
trustworthy enough.
