+On a Big Endian-System (Solaris on SPARC)
+
+```
+$ echo -n I | od -to2 | head -n1 | cut -f2 -d" " | cut -c6 
+0
+```
+On a little endian system (Linux on x86)
+```
+$ echo -n I | od -to2 | head -n1 | cut -f2 -d" " | cut -c6 
+1
+```
+The solution above is clever and works great for Linux *86 and Solaris Sparc.
+
+I needed a shell-only (no Perl) solution that also worked on AIX/Power and HPUX/Itanium. Unfortunately the last two don't play nice: AIX reports "6" and HPUX gives an empty line.
+
+Using your solution, I was able to craft something that worked on all these Unix systems:
+```
+$ echo I | tr -d [:space:] | od -to2 | head -n1 | awk '{print $2}' | cut -c6
+```
+Regarding the Python solution someone posted, it does not work in Jython because the JVM treats everything as Big. If anyone can get it to work in Jython, please post!
+
+Also, I found this, which explains the endianness of various platforms. Some hardware can operate in either mode depending on what the O/S selects: http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/544
+
+If you're going to use awk this line can be simplified to:
+```
+echo -n I | od -to2 | awk '{ print substr($2,6,1); exit}'
+```
+For small Linux boxes that don't have 'od' (say OpenWrt) then try 'hexdump':
+```
+echo -n I | hexdump -o | awk '{ print substr($2,6,1); exit}'
+```
