You can do it by using the iconv_string wrapper [1] around the
system's iconv routine (recommended on glibc 2.2 or newer), passing it
"UTF-8" as fromcode and "UTF-16" as tocode.
Aternatively, you should be able to build a specialized conversion
function by putting together the (LGPL'ed) functions 'utf8_mbtowc' in
[2] and 'utf16_wctomb' in [3] in a loop.
