it may not be utf16, but the second character is definitely not arabic. unicode table states that it's a buginese character. the first character is listed as C/J/K (chinese, japanese, korean) since a lot of asian languages use chinese characters for words, even if they do not speak chinese. the bugis are very closely related to the chinese, so it's not implausible that some bugis use chinese characters as well.
