I see, you said the resource has wide characters to begin with. Do you have a requirement that the resource must be stored encoded as wide characters? My suggestion is that you reload your resource into the visual studio editor and you should have the option when you are saving it to encode it into UTF16. Then save the properly encoded resource into your project. Then when you load the resource in the program as a binary resource you will have no need to convert it from wide characters to utf16 before handing it off to libxml2. Otherwise you will need to lookup the Visual Studio's localization functions for converting wide character data into UTF16 before handing it off to libxml2.
