  Looks okay. But this is not a mailing list about characters encoding
or the iconv API, really...

  the definition of wchar_t doesn't define an encoding. Seems to be
a sequence of code point. Doesn't even define the *size* of the C objects,
maybe your encoding is UCS4 but you really ought to know better what
you are using. It's likely to even be system dependant ! Anyway if you
use embedded systems that sounds a sure way to waste globs of memory,
I would not do that...
  UTF-8 representation is defined in rfc2044 . 
  libxml2 has a function to take an Unicode code point and write it
in an xmlChar buffer:
