If the database encoding is UTF8 and you insert data using sqlite3_bind_text16() or a similar function, then SQLite automatically converts UTF16 to UTF8. Likewise, if you extract data using sqlite3_column_text16() or a similar routine, then the UTF8 to UTF16 conversion is automatic. If you run an INSERT statement that has the data as part of the INSERT statement itself (not normally recommended due to the risk of SQL injection if you fail to properly escape the data) then any necessary conversions are also automatic. -- D.
