cannot export NLS_LANG=.AL16UTF16

I'm trying to export NLS_LANG=.AL16UTF16 to prevent coverting in the applciation code. The database is in AL32UTF8. I get this error:
sc@lnxdev9:/mnt/oracle1/ora10gr2/bin$ export NLS_LANG=.AL16UTF16
sc@lnxdev9:/mnt/oracle1/ora10gr2/bin$ ./sqlplus system/xxxxxx@ora10gr2
Error 19 initializing SQL*Plus
Invalid NLS character set for this OS environment
sc@lnxdev9:/mnt/oracle1/ora10gr2/bin$

How can I fix this error. Can I use the AL16UTF16 as character set instead of AL32UTF8?
Thanks a lot, tom
