uniencode always converts to UTF-16. unidecode always converts from UTF-16.
The second parameter specifies the encoding the text is currently in. So
the above shouldn't work as your text is not in UTF16 format.

Your data is encoded as UTF-8 so you have to encode to get to UTF-16.

put uniencode(tVar, "utf8") into theUTF16Text
