How about using the OutputStreamWriter class which allows you to specify encoding.

E.g.

import java.io.*;

public class Test {
    private static String outputFile = "c:/testOutput.txt";
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
        try {
            File output = new File(outputFile);
            output.createNewFile();
            FileOutputStream fOut = new FileOutputStream(output);
            OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(fOut, "UTF16");
            
            String testMsg = "Testing 123";
            writer.write(testMsg);
            
            writer.close();
        } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

This is a simple test harness that shows you how to generate UTF-16 output in a file. How you format the file is up to you. You could easily create the XML from this without much work.

But don't forget the doctype:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16" ?>
