Description

I create three test unicode files on windows using notepad.
Encoded as UTF-8, UTF-16 LE and UTF-16 BE.

The UTF-8 file was added as text. But both UTF-16 files are
treated as binary.

> svn add utf8.txt utf16-be.txt utf16-le.txt
A         utf8.txt
svn: File 'utf16-be.txt' has binary mime type property

I would guess that utf32 files are also treated as binary.
