On 4.0, or Sony 3.5 devices, the TxtConvertEncoding routine provides
support for converting between Unicode (UTF-8, UTF-16) and the device
character encoding. So if you're running on a Japanese device, then
yes you can use this to convert between Shift-JIS and Unicode.
You can verify the existence of the routine by checking that the
result of IntlGetRoutineAddress(intlTxtConvertEncoding) is not NULL.
