unicode versus ansi format - detect in a hex editor?

C

I'm guessing it should be possible to look through a hex editor, to
determine if a particular PST file is in the Outlook 2003 PST (unicode)
format, or pre-2003 (ansi) .. has anyone done this? What is the tell
tale sign to look for - what bytes or set of bytes do i need to pay
attention ot?

Why bother with a Hex editor - just open Data file management to see what
format the .pst file is in.
