Ok, I stand corrected on that. You can prepend the correct BOM and
read a LE string.
One more thing -- if you have a Unicode string aString, the following
will work:
[aString isEqualToString:@"Jim"]; -- even when aString uses, for
example, 16-bit characters while @"Jim" uses 7-bit ASCII characters.

NSString works with big endian Unicode strings only.
No, that's wrong. NSString imports equally well each endianness; BE is
just a default for improper Unicode strings without a BOM.
If you are reading a file that has little endian strings, you need to
do byte swapping before handing the string to an NSString method.
Presumed you got such a data, you can save effort and source lines by
just prepending the right BOM:
char buffer[SIZE+2]={0xff,0xfe};
fread(buffer+2,sizeof(char),length,fp);
