PHP normal text to Unicode / UTF-16 (XML) -> Flash MX v6.0

Hey there ... I'm having a major problem, I have to generate a XML file encoded in UTF-16 so Flash can read the XML file and decode it - and would be able to show the correct chars in every language (or atleast Lithuania, Czech and other normal language english). I've tried so many things, mb_string extension seems to work fine but it doesn't generate "real" UTF-16 encoding. If I check a XML file in notepad and save it as unicode it works really great - but PHP just doesn't seem to do this. Notepad creates a "header" like (2 bytes) a 0x0FFh and 0x0FEh in the beginning and some of the "wierd" chars is encoded a different way than PHP does it. I've tried the Iconv extension, which was a bitch to make it work - but when PHP didn't say any more errors it seemed to work, but again with small errors ... Anyone know how to make some normal chars (UTF-8 or normal string type) to UTF-16 in PHP.
