PUBLIC UNICVTAPI uint16* INTL_UTF8ToUCS2 ( const unsigned char *utf8p, int32 *num_chars )

Convert text from UTF-8 to UCS-2 encoding

Convert text from UTF-8 to UCS-2 encoding. UCS-2 is the abbreviation for the two byte form of Unicode. UTF-8 is a transformation encoding for Unicode. For more information about UTF-8 look at RFC 2279 in ftp://ds.internic.net/rfc/rfc2279.txt . For more information about UCS-2, look at http://www.unicode.org.

Returns:

UCS-2 string, NULL terminated by U+0000, or NULL. The caller should free it by calling XP_FREE when it is no longer needed.

Parameters:

utf8p - Specifies the UTF-8 text buffer. It is NULL terminated.
num_chars - Returns the length of the converted UCS-2 in UCS-2 units not bytes
