Using the latest version of SourceTree (3.4.7.0). Just tried to view a text file that uses UTF-16. The first two bytes of the file are FF FE which is the byte order mark (BOM). The source code file views properly with Notepad++.

SourceTree states "No changes in this file have been detected, or it is a binary file ..."

In the Options dialog I changed the default text encoding to utf-16 but there was no change.
