PyUnicodeUCS2_EncodeUTF16

Returns a Python string object holding the UTF-16 encoded value of the Unicode data.

If byteorder is not 0, output is written according to the following byte order:

byteorder == -1: little endian byteorder == 0: native byte order (writes a BOM mark) byteorder == 1: big endian

If byteorder is 0, the output string will always start with the Unicode BOM mark (U+FEFF). In the other two modes, no BOM mark is prepended.

Note that Py_UNICODE data is being interpreted as UTF-16 reduced to UCS-2. This trick makes it possible to add full UTF-16 capabilities at a later point without compromising the APIs.
