Detailed Description
This file contains general Unicode string manipulation functions. It
mainly consist of functions for converting between UCS-2 (used on the
devices) and UTF-8 (used by several applications).
For a deeper understanding of Unicode encoding formats see the
Wikipedia entries for UTF-16/UCS-2 and UTF-8.

Define Documentation
#define STRING_BUFFER_LENGTH 1024 The size of the buffer (in characters)
used for creating string copies.

Function Documentation
void strip_7bit_from_utf8 (char * str) This helper function simply removes
any consecutive chars > 0x7F and replace then with an underscore. In
UTF-8 consequtive chars > 0x7F represent one single character so it has
to be done like this (and it's elegant). It will only shrink the string
in size so no copying is needed.

int ucs2_strlen (uint16_t const *const unicstr) Gets the length (in
characters, not bytes) of a unicode UCS-2 string, eg a string which
physically is 0x00 0x41 0x00 0x00 will return a value of 1.
Parameters:
unicstr a UCS-2 Unicode string
Returns:
the length of the string, in number of characters. If you want to
know the length in bytes, multiply this by two and add two (for
zero terminator).

char* utf16_to_utf8 (LIBMTP_mtpdevice_t * device, const uint16_t * unicstr)
Converts a big-endian UTF-16 2-byte string to a UTF-8 string. Actually
just a UCS-2 internal conversion routine that strips off the BOM if
there is one.
Parameters:
device a pointer to the current device.
unicstr the UTF-16 unicode string to convert
Returns:
a UTF-8 string.

uint16_t* utf8_to_utf16 (LIBMTP_mtpdevice_t * device, const char *
localstr) Converts a UTF-8 string to a big-endian UTF-16 2-byte string
Actually just a UCS-2 internal conversion.
Parameters:
device a pointer to the current device.
localstr the UTF-8 unicode string to convert
Returns:
a UTF-16 string.
