Introduce a new structure and parameters to support designating the big-endian and little-endian.

The utf8 program needs to properly handle the endianness in a different way.
The bytes are in left-to-right format but when converted are converted in a left-to-right format but shifted to the right.
Swapping between little-endian to big-endian would be incorrect because the byte order is aleady correct.
The byte position is what is incorrect.
