Unfortunately, it is unlikely that I will get approval to use libiconv as it is third-party software.
How much effort is involved with converting to SQLite 3.x? I'm not sure if I can get approval to use that either, but if that's the only way I'm going to get it to work, then I may have to do it.

Well, wcstombs uses WideCharToMultiByte() internally, with some more locality checks added in. Maybe you are using it wrong?
If you cant get that to work, libiconv is great for converting charsets.
Is there any reason you can't use sqlite 3.x? It has native unicode support.
