oracle uNISTR-like UTF-16 can be written like this:

 U&'\D3C9\BA85\B3C4 \B514\C2A4\D50C\B808\C774'

it's not a function, it a way of writing strings... if you need a
it probably wouldn't be hard to write.

but you can also write in UTF-8 (literal or escaped) or unicode escaped
see docs:

u&'\+021502'          -- unicode
u&'\D845\DD02'        -- utf16  (docs tell methis is legal with recent versions)
e'\xF0\xA1\x94\x82'   -- utf8 hex escape
e'\360\241\224\202'   -- utf8 octal escape
'𡔂'                  -- utf8 string literal

the first 2 can be intermixed as can the last three forms.

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/sql-syntax-lexical.html

select length('𡔂'), octet_length( '𡔂' ), length('test'),
octet_length('test');

 length | octet_length | length | octet_length 
--------+--------------+--------+--------------
      1 |            4 |      4 |            4
