It seems that you're missing the byte order mark (BOM)?

Correct, the windows service doesn't include a BOM at the start of the
string it sends out.
I think I'll need to talk to the developer of the Windows Service
and ask if
they can include a BOM one way or another.
Potential solutions:
(1) Developer of the Windows service uses a better encoding for
transportability such as UTF-8.
(2) As you mention, developer puts proper BOM so you know the endianess
(3) It may be the case where the developer cannot include the BOM
(e.g. other clients of the service would start failing if the data is
prefixed with the BOM). Could you thus assume that if no BOM is
included that the data is of a particular endianess?
