If you do the conversion on the Windows Desktop, all necessary functions are
already provided by the Windows API
Look up MultiByteToWideChar/WideCharToMultiByte calls and Unicode and
Character Set Functions.
Or you can download the mapping tables from www.unicode.org and write the small amount of code required to do the conversion, or you can use the ICU code/data that's available as open source from IBM.

If you want to map on the palm you are on your own...
Only if you're running on pre-4.0 devices. On 4.0 and later, TxtConvertEncoding supports conversion from the device encoding to UTF-8, UTF-16LE, UTF-16BE, and UCS-2.
