#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Encode the specified code point to UTF-16 into the buffer \f[V]s\f[R].
The buffer must have enough space to hold the encoding, which takes
either 2 or 4 bytes.
This routine will refuse to encode code points above 0x10FFFF.
.PP
Returns the number of bytes written, which is the same as that returned
by al_utf16_width(3alleg5).
