It is much more complicated than I thought since I am new to the topic of
character encoding of a string.
For Fabrício's suggestion. Say thank you for your advice first. I add one
statement to print the ustring after the conversion to the console.
std::cout << myustr << std::endl;
The result just got an 'a'. Maybe it is the wrong way to verify the
converted glib::ustring, I'm still unsure. For one question, why is
g_utf16_to_utf8 here? A sizeof test with wchar_t show wide character
(usually) takes 32 bits wide in Unix-like system. I guess g_utf32_to_utf8
should work but that function doesn't seem to be declared :(
