BBEdit looks for the byte order mark. FFFE or FEFF.
It can also be told to "reopen with coding. . ." File menu, I think.
Does AppleScript put such a thing out as a matter of course? Is it

No. It puts out in the current user encoding so you'd actually have
to write the bytes into the output itself.
The world ought to adopt .U16 and .U61 for such file types but. . .
Something sane like the above would do just fine. I've used .utf8
and .u8 myself.
