Spell check does use uft8 but spell check is not required and does not prevent a utf16 document to be loaded or saved.

Thanks for the clarification on QString::fromUtf8. But a built from scratch Sigil ePub
does currently only contain utf-8 xhtml files, right? I know windows-1252 gets converted to utf-8 when you add/import... and I've never been able to get a utf-16 html file to add/import properly (in 0.5.3 or the 0.6 betas), so I figured it was a safe assumption that the code would only be encountering utf-8 at that point. But I guess that doesn't take into account non-Sigil built ePubs that may
already contain utf-16 files, does it?
