Why there is no sqlite3_mprintf16() function? I need the ‘%q’ functionality but for UTF-16 string.

Because SQLite is not infected by UTF-16 yet. It uses UTF-8 almost everywhere in the interface, and so there’s no point in formatting a query encoded in UTF-16 string.
This is a different story. What you need is something like ‘%q16’, which in fact doesn’t exist.
Said that, you shall not use
sqlite3_mprintfat all. Use prepared statements and bind functions instead. They do allow you to bind a UTF-16 string usingsqlite3_bind_text16. Even better, stop using UTF-16 for your strings.
