title: How can I render UTF-16BE in command line?
body: <p>I often come across a string representing UTF-16BE, such as <code>\u0444\u0430\u0439\u043b</code>, which would be properly rendered as <code>файл</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I wonder: is there a simple way to "render" a text file in UTF-16BE (or simply an input string in in UTF-16BE) such as the one above by using sed or other command line tool?</p>
