al_ustr_new_from_utf16(3)

Welcome to the al_ustr_new_from_utf16(3) page from the Library Functions Manual, bestie — this one is lowkey iconic and it's giving “copy that UTF-16 string” energy ✨

✨ NAME ✨

• al_ustr_new_from_utf16 — Allegro 5 API 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

ALLEGRO_USTR *al_ustr_new_from_utf16(uint16_t const *s)

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so bestie, what this does is create a new string that contains a copy of the 0-terminated string s, and s must be encoded as UTF-16. No cap, that part matters 💜

And listen — that string has to eventually be freed with al_ustr_free(3). Do not ghost that cleanup, fr fr 🫶
