This converts ANSI to UTF-16. 'Testing' in UTF-8 is "Testing"; in UTF-16 it
is "T\x00e\x00s\x00t\x00i\x00n\x00g\x00" or
"\x00T\x00e\x00s\x00t\x00i\x00n\x00g" (depending on endianness). The first
128 bytes of UTF-8 are the same as the bytes of ASCII, or as the first 128
bytes of ISO-8859-1 (aka Latin-1).

Cheers,
Philip
