I confirm that Vim 7.2.25 with 'fencs' starting in "ucs-bom" identifies
UTF-16le files with BOM as if they were UCS-2le, even if codepoints
above U+FFFF are present, which is an error. For instance U+20025 is
read back as <d840><dc25> (two surrogates shown as distinct characters)
instead of as one double-wide character.
Bram, there's work for you when you're back from holiday :-). I'm not
competent to check the proposed patch by eyeball but I hope it does what
is needed.
Yanwei, in the meantime I suggest the following autocommand (untested)
as a workaround which doesn't need recompilation:
au BufReadPost * if (&fenc == 'ucs-2le') && &bomb
\ | e ++enc=utf-16le | endif
Best regards,
Tony.
