wxMBConvUTF16

This class is used to convert between multibyte encodings and UTF-16 Unicode encoding (also known as UCS-2). Unlike UTF-8 encoding, UTF-16 uses words and not bytes and hence depends on the byte ordering: big or little endian. Hence this class is provided in two versions: wxMBConvUTF16LE and wxMBConvUTF16BE and wxMBConvUTF16 itself is just a typedef for one of them (native for the given platform, e.g. LE under Windows and BE under Mac).
