The buggy one
There is a problem with codecvt, the facet codecvt_utf8_utf16 should do
big-endian conversions with default template arguments.
However this is the output I get linking with libstdc++-5.1.1 :
UTF-16
[b098] [b294] [d0dc] [c624]
UTF-16 to UTF-8
[eb] [82] [98] [eb] [8a] [94] [ed] [83] [9c] [ec] [98] [a4]
Converting back to UTF-16
[98b0] [94b2] [dcd0] [24c6]
The same code gives the expected result on OS X with libc++ and on Windows.
When I specify the third template argument of codecvt_utf8_utf16 with
std::little_endian, it gives the expected output.
