Just tried it on my 1.08 installation with a testfile encoded as utf-16. Didn't work either. Looking at the 1.08 source code, there's nothing weird happening. But: the strlen() function (and presumably all other string functions) in the C library that Dink is compiled with in Windows looks at the system's locale, and reads files as if that's the file locale.
So: reading utf-16 encoded files on an utf-16 Windows system? No worries. Using utf-16 encoded files on any other system? Nope.
(which makes me wonder why reading ANSI-encoded files on an utf-16 Windows works, as evidently scratcher is able to play other people's D-Mods, because reading ANSI files as if it was utf-16 results in utter garbage, but that's probably a Windows backward-compatible thing)
