computeRequiredUtf16Words(
char const* srcBuffer,
char const* endPtr = 0);Return the number of words required to store the translation of the specified UTF-8 string srcBuffer into a 0 terminated UTF-16 string (including the 0 terminating word into the returned count). Optionally specify endPtr, referring to one past the last input character. If endPtr is not supplied, or is 0, treat srcBuffer as 0 terminated. Note that this function will return the size utf8ToUtf16 will require, assuming the errorWord argument to utf8ToUtf16 is non-zero.

| Name | Description |
