Heejong Lee commented on BEAM-5856:
-----------------------------------
I think it would be nicer to generalize `_find_separator_bounds` (like
parameterizing newline separator finding codes) so that we can support not only
UTF-16 but also other text-based encodings.
> Read UTF-16 CSV and Text files

> Priority: Minor
>
> At this moment it is not possible for Apache Beam Python version 2.7 to read
> UTF-16 text files or csv files. I would like to have the possibility to read
> this kind of unicode. Currently the issue that UTF-16 cannot be read is
> described in:

> If somebody has an idea to fix it I would be more than happy to assist.
