mac下utf-8转unicode

项目需要在mac下发送一段unicode数据，试用过mac自带的libiconv 每个字符确占有四个字节，上传到服务器后返回结果不对。从网上找了一段代码，稍加修改，在虚拟机上运行正确。 unsigned short int 占两个字节，符合unicode内存要求。 

 int myUTF8_to_UNICODE(unsigned short int * unicode, unsigned char* utf8, int len)
{
    int length;
    unsigned char* t = utf8;
 
    length = 0;
    while (utf8 - t < len){
        //one byte.ASCII as a, b, c, 1, 2, 3 ect
        if ( *(unsigned char *) utf8 <= 0x7f ) {
            //expand with 0s.
            *unicode++ = *utf8++;
        }
        //2 byte.
        else if ( *(unsigned char *) utf8 <= 0xdf ) {
            *unicode++ = ((*(unsigned char *) utf8 & 0x1f) << 6) + ((*(unsigned char *) (utf8 + 1)) & 0x3f);
            utf8 += 2;
        }
        //3 byte.Chinese may use 3 byte.
        else {
            *unicode++ = ((int) (*(unsigned char *) utf8 & 0x0f) << 12) +
   ((*(unsigned char *) (utf8 + 1) & 0x3f) << 6) +
   (*(unsigned char *) (utf8 + 2) & 0x3f);
            utf8 += 3;
        }
        length++;
    } 
    *unicode = 0;   
    return (length);
}

调用：

 char *pUnicode = new char[nUnlength];
 nUnlength= myUTF8_to_UNICODE((unsigned short int  *)pUnicode,(unsigned char *)strAuthor,nlength);
