Thanks Ross for the try, but it is not working,
tried for:

"\377\376B\001\363\000|\001k\000o\000\t\000k\000s\000i\000\005\001|\001k\000a\000\t\000c\000z\000B\001o\000w\000i\000e\000k\000\r\000\n\000B\001\005\001k\000a\000\t\000\t\000|\001d\000z\001b\000B\001o\000\r\000\n\000"
which is:

ko	ksika	czowiek
¥Ê¤Æ©Ìa		¥Ê¥·d¥Ê¥³b¥Ê£Ð

-> (the same :))

the conversion should be:
ko,ksika,czowiek
¥Ê¤Æ©Ìa,,¥Ê¥·d¥Ê¥³b¥Ê£Ð

but with the Iconv try:
ko,ksika,czowiek
Ø·äǵ©µù

after swapping utf-8 to ucs-2le in the both iconv convertions, I get an
error message:
`iconv': "\377\376B\001¥Ä¥» |ãø¥³k\000o\000\t\000k\000"...
(Iconv::IllegalSequence)


Any other suggestions highly appreciated.

Thanks
