//! UTF-16LE encode/decode helpers for MATLAB `char` datasets.
//!
//! MATLAB's `char` class is a UTF-16 array. On disk it's stored as an HDF5
//! `uint16` dataset (shape `[1, N]` for a row of N code units) and the
//! `MATLAB_class` attribute is `"char"`.

use super::error::MatError;

/// Encode a Rust `&str` to a `Vec<u16>` of UTF-16 code units.
///
/// The caller can then pass the slice to `with_u16_data` to build a MATLAB
/// char dataset.
