public class ByteToCharUnicode
extends ByteToCharConverter
Convert byte arrays containing Unicode characters into arrays of actual Unicode characters, sensing the byte order automatically. To force a particular byte order, use either the "UnicodeBig" or the "UnicodeLittle" encoding.

This converter expects the first character converted to be a byte-order marker ('\\ufeff'), which it will interpret and discard. It will throw a MalformedInputException if the first character is not a marker, or if a marker that does not match the established byte order is later discovered. If a correct marker is seen later in the input stream, it is passed through as a character.
