Can anyone tell me how to convert a string from UTF-8 to UTF-16 and vice versa?

Hah, so I solved my problem with a little help from Blueapples...

Converting the string into a stream and then loading it again with LoadText changes it into Blitz friendly UTF-16.

Local stream:TStream = CreateRamStream(str, str.length, True, False)
str = LoadText(stream)
