title: Converting Multibyte characters to UTF-8
body: <p>My application has to write data to an XML file which will be read by a swf file. The swf expects the data in the XML to be in UTF-8 encoding. I have to convert some Multibyte characters in my app(Chinese simplified, Japanese, Korean etc..) to UTF-8. 
        Are there any API calls which could allow me to do this?I would prefer not to use any 3rd party dlls. I need to do it both on Windows and on Mac and would prefer any system API's if available.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks
