    This can be pretty easily done using UT_convert, see below.

    Well, the best way would be (imho) to use UT_convert, which handles memory
    allocation itself.

    You'd just do:
    UT_UCS4Char* foo = (UT_UCS4Char*)UT_convert((char*)your_string,
    len_of_your_string, "UCS-2", "UCS-4", NULL, NULL);
