I'm sorry, these examples are bonkers again. They are not convincing because you used UTF-8. What does big endian UTF-8 even mean? Can you write the same with e.g. the UTF-16 variants instead? That would make much better examples. I've been trying but I don't understand what e.g. this should mean:

auto t = std::make_text<std::endian::big, std::bom>(u"Hello");
