Very strange.... uft16->utf8 conversion seems be very easy, and required for 
proper output on contemporary Linux. I don't know what special info is 
required if utf16 and utf8 is the same stadard. But some strange conversion 
is performed because the output is not utf16 nor utf8 - so what is the 
output's format? It is some your own format? Is there any reason for this?
I want to use uft16 because I don't want care of some codings. I expect that 
it works straightforward. So, what I should do? Create utf8 coding? In my 
example I do this because utf8 is default settings in my system, but it 
doesn't work. Should I choose polish locale? But when I create polish 
locale, and some day I will add russian translation, what will happen then?
In my opinion it isn't Unicode way! I think, that Unicode mind no care about 
character codding.
