These encodings are rarely used. I don't think that any text editor use them. Editors use ascii, latin1, utf8 and... all locale encoding. But I don't know any OS using UTF-16 as a locale encoding. UTF-32 wastes disk space.
AFAIK the standard Windows editor Notepad uses UTF-16. And I often encountered Windows resource files in UTF-16. UTF-16 was more popular than UTF-8 on Windows some time. If this horse is dead I'll throw it away.
