Actually Palm OS 4.0 has a TxtConvertEncoding routine, which supports
conversion between Unicode and the device's character encoding
(either direction). It can handle the UTF-8 and UCS-2 encodings for
Unicode. A stripped down version of this same routine also exists in
ROMs used by Sony's 3.5-based devices.
