Ok, I'm barly understanding your request. UTF/UTF8/UTF16 affects the
character set of your file. Now all HTML files can configure the browser
to determin the character set just be defining:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="application/xml+xhtml;
charset=UTF-8" />

As well, if your sending PHP encoded file, you can pre-determin the
filetype just by defining the character encoding threw the headers:

header("Content-Type: application/xml+xhtml; charset=utf-8");

Other then that, the rest is done threw your web server, picking the
file... that if you wanted to encode it further you would have to
convert it using the functions you said above.
