# const-utf16

utf8 to utf16 conversion functions useable in const contexts. 

## Use

```rust
const HELLO_WORLD_UTF16: &[u16] = const_utf16::encode!("Hello, world!");
```

# Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV)

This crate requires Rust 1.46.0 or newer due to the use of some const expression features.

## Attribution

This code is largely inspired by the [Rust core utf16 conversion code](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/399b6452b5d9982438be208668bc758479f13725/library/core/src/char/methods.rs#L1627-L1652).
