\fn void PHYSFS_utf8FromUcs2(const PHYSFS_uint16 *src, char *dst, PHYSFS_uint64 len) \brief Convert a UCS-2 string to a UTF-8 string.

\warning you almost certainly should use PHYSFS_utf8FromUtf16(), which became available in PhysicsFS 2.1, unless you know what you’re doing.

\warning This function will not report an error if there are invalid UCS-2 values in the source string. It will replace them with a ‘?’ character and continue on.

UCS-2 strings are 16-bits per character: \c TCHAR on Windows, when building with Unicode support. Please note that modern versions of Windows use UTF-16, which is an extended form of UCS-2, and not UCS-2 itself. You almost certainly want PHYSFS_utf8FromUtf16() instead.

To ensure that the destination buffer is large enough for the conversion, please allocate a buffer that is double the size of the source buffer. UTF-8 never uses more than 32-bits per character, so while it may shrink a UCS-2 string, it may also expand it.

Strings that don’t fit in the destination buffer will be truncated, but will always be null-terminated and never have an incomplete UTF-8 sequence at the end. If the buffer length is 0, this function does nothing.

\param src Null-terminated source string in UCS-2 format. \param dst Buffer to store converted UTF-8 string. \param len Size, in bytes, of destination buffer.
