Try playing with the other two:

PRAGMA encoding = "UTF-8"; 
PRAGMA encoding = "UTF-16"; 
PRAGMA encoding = "UTF-16le"; 
PRAGMA encoding = "UTF-16be";

you might figure out whether your programming language is using 'le' or 'be' 
internally.  If that doesn't help ...

Which OS ?  If your OS has codepages or other ways of specifying charactersets, 
which characterset do you use in your programming language ?
