Since hashcat v6.2.1 there is true UTF-16 support for pure kernels. UTF-16 is fully supported.
There is an exception for mask attacks combined with compute devices that require vector data-types
to achieve full performance. For example a modern CPU. For these devices, the recommendation is to use a
combination of mask processor piped to hashcat. For modern GPUs it works as expected.
