// strcopyToWide - assumes large enough. casts are so high byte is 0.
void strcopyToWide(wchar_t * dest, char *src){
while('\0' != *src){ *dest++ = (wchar_t ) (unsigned char) *src++; }
*dest++ = *src++;
}

As stated, your question is meaningless. What character sets are the
source strings in, and what character set is the dest string in?

The algorithm for converting between a char* holding macintosh
WorldscriptII Japanese going to 16-bit per char Unicode is very
different from the algorithm for going from a char * of UTF-8 to
Unicode, for example.

You might like to look at the documentation for two of Apple's mavinitsh

Japanese) and

Won't swprintf work?

#include <wchar.h>

int main()
{
wchar_t wstr[100];
char buffer [100]= "able was I ere I saw elba";
swprintf(wstr, 100, L"%ls",buffer);

wprintf(L"%s", wstr);
}
