I have a char * (containing utf-8 string) that i want to pass to ICU to convert it to ANSI (ISO-8859-6) . Unfortunately it seems that most ICU functions take UChar not char*.

How can I make this conversion?

    Did you look at the docs? UnicodeString::fromUTF8 stands out…

    // given char* str
UnicodeString ustr = UnicodeString::fromUTF8(StringPiece(str));

    I assume you know how to then convert ustr to the desired codepage using UnicodeString::extract.
