Windows Notepad handles Unicode just fine, both UTF-16 (labeled Unicode
in notepad) and UTF-8 (labeled UTF-8).
To test, open the file in Notepad, then do "File->Save As". The
"Encoding" dropdown box will default to whatever Notepad detected when
it opened the file. If it's UTF-16 and you need UTF-8, just change the
encoding and save under a different name.
