It was pointed out earlier in the thread that the encoding was UTF-16LE.  I
was surprised when no one said "the conversion library we use doesn't
support automatic detection of/conversion from 16-bit encodings", but I
don't know what is being used in RT.

With the iconv library, if you want to convert from UTF-16, you have to
specify it as the "from" code.  As far as I know.  But it does work if you do.
