Yes, the file apparently is encoded in UTF-16. However, 00 97 is not a valid code. You will have to replace it with the proper code (20 14). It seems somebody used the cp1252 code for emdash and thought it would function as a UTF-16 code. Such things happen a lot on MS systems (especially in email, BTW).
