But these are not UTF-8! They are UCS-2 and UCS-4.
([Wide_]Wide_Text_IO should never be used, there is no single case one
would need these.)
If you have a UTF-8 encoded file (e.g. created using Notepad++, saved
without BOM), you should use Ada.Streams.Stream_IO, best in binary mode
if you are using GNAT.
You will have to detect line ends manually, but at least there will be
guaranty that the run-time does not mangle anything.
If you are using Windows calls with the "W" suffix, then all strings
there are already UTF-16 and you don't need to convert anything.
