      For g_convert(), use GError, to check it did succeed.

Before doing this call, just try doing
g_utf8_validate(buf2, -1, NULL) to see what does this function tell you.

                                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^ try -1 here,
                                              may be those aren't bytes but
                                              chars...
