How to import utf16 csv by macro into calc

I am trying to import a csv via macro

However checking the documentation Filter Options - Apache OpenOffice Wiki

i see that utf-8 is listed, but utf16 is not, despite it being available in the open file dialog when opening a csv.

If i use utf8 an extra line is inserted between each row. If i could use utf16 then there would be no empty rows.

Is this possible?

Unicode UCS2 is the one you need.

Perfect. Thankyou.
