Carla:

As far as I can remember (I'm talking from memory) the 'UNICODE' UTL_FILE functions work only with UTF8 (somebody can correct me if I'm wrong). I faced similar problems some time ago and I solved nicely using a java class and loading it and wrapping it inside a package. This class was able to read & write files in (almost) any encoding.

Keep in mind that UTF16 can be big endian and little endian.

HTH. Cheers.
