* Will convert a codepage buffer into unicode one character at a time.

* In that case it will be more efficient than \Ref{ucnv_toUnicode}.
* When converting large buffers use \Ref{ucnv_toUnicode}.
*
* Handling of surrogate pairs and supplementary-plane code points:
* There are two different kinds of codepages that provide mappings for surrogate characters:
*
* - Codepages like UTF-8, UTF-32, and GB 18030 provide direct representations for Unicode
* code points U+10000-U+10ffff as well as for single surrogates U+d800-U+dfff.
* Each valid sequence will result in exactly one returned code point.
* If a sequence results in a single surrogate, then that will be returned
* by itself, even if a neighboring sequence encodes the matching surrogate.
* - Codepages like SCSU and LMBCS (and UTF-16) provide direct representations only for BMP code points
* including surrogates. Code points in supplementary planes are represented with
* two sequences, each encoding a surrogate.
* For these codepages, matching pairs of surrogates will be combined into single
* code points for returning from this function.
* (Note that SCSU is actually a mix of these codepage types.)
