There isn't, because there is essentially no canonical wchar_t.

The only requirements for wchar_t is that it be at least 8 bits wide
and that it be compatible with the regular "char" character set, which
is to say ASCII-compatible when we're talking about any reasonable
modern system.

Beyond that, the size and encoding of wchar_t is left entirely up to
the compiler.

Now, on Mac OS X it's *usually* 32 bits and contains UTF-32, so you
can use that information to easily create an NSString from a wchar_t
array. But both the encoding and the size could be different depending
on a number of factors.
