Wrong assumption.

Unified diff is in utf8 format and simply can not deal with utf16 files.
TortoiseMerge however can deal with such files and therefore is able
to show a diff.

Since I can't change the unified diff format according to you I should
remove the ability to diff utf16 files from TortoiseMerge?
Sorry, won't do...
