title: Convert UTF-16 to UTF-8 under Windows and Linux, in C
body: <p>I was wondering if there is a recommended 'cross' Windows and Linux method for the purpose of converting strings from UTF-16LE to UTF-8? or one should use different methods for each environment?</p>
  
  <p>I've managed to google few references to 'iconv' , but for somreason I can't find samples of basic conversions, such as - converting a wchar_t UTF-16 to UTF-8.</p>
  
  <p>Anybody can recommend a method that would be 'cross', and if you know of references or a guide with samples, would very appreciate it.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks, Doori Bar</p>
