[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

For example, if I save this xml file in emacs, it saves it as utf-16 big endian:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>

If I do this in powershell (really a .net method), it saves it as utf-16 little endian (osx or windows):

[xml]$xml = get-content file.xml
$xml.save('file.xml')

What is "an application" in this context?
