I have a pair of "Unicode little endian without BOM" text files that I would like to diff each another via the command line. Unfortunately when I open them using the commandline in Winmerge they come up as a bunch of unreadable binary symbols because the encoding WinMerge is expecting is wrong.
Is there any way to feed these into Winmerge in a readable format?

How about saving them with a different encoding using Notepad or Notepad++ or other text editor first? – Karan – 2015-04-18T00:03:13.550
