    encodes/decodes UTF16 LittleEndian (little-end-first)

    Notice the naming (many are confused):
        Unicode is the set of number-to-glyph assignments
    whereas:
        UTF8, UTF16 etc. are a concrete way of xmitting Unicode codePoints (numbers).

    ST/X NEVER uses UTF8 or UTF16 internally - all characters are full 24bit characters.
    Only when exchanging data, are these converted into UTF8 (or other) byte sequences.

  Encoding (unicode to utf16LE)
     ISO10646_to_UTF16LE encodeString:'hello'.


  Decoding (utf16LE to unicode):
     |t|

     t := ISO10646_to_UTF16LE encodeString:''.
     ISO10646_to_UTF16LE decodeString:t.

  Decoding (utf16LE-Bytes to unicode):
     |bytes|

     bytes := #[ 16r40 0 16r41 0 16r42 0 16r43 0 16r44 0 ].
     ISO10646_to_UTF16LE decodeString:bytes.
