As part of the High Plane Unicode Mapping thread viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2527 I produced a Unicode Text Document from WordPad.
I remember that some years ago I saved a Unicode Text Document from WordPad and managed to produce a hexadecimal dump of the bytes in the file, which I could then study so as to understand how WordPad is storing the characters in the file.

I would like to study the bytes in the attached file to try to determine how the characters are stored in the file.

Unfortunately i cannot remember how I obtained the hexadecimal dump of the file.

Could someone suggest a method to produce a hexadecimal dump of the file please?

Here is a hex representation of your file that contains 16 bytes:

Thank you.

You're welcome.

The first two bytes are a byte-order mark. 0xFF 0xFE indicates the file has a UTF-16 (little-endian order) encoding.
