5.16.3.7 String(Unicode)

To convert from the LDAP representation to the Unicode syntax representation, the UTF-8 encoded string is converted to a UCS-16 encoded String16. Each Unicode character is in little-endian format. The resulting string is not null-terminated. The valLength field of ATTRVAL equals the total number of bytes in the Unicode string.

Example:

 LDAP value: Administrator (Unicode string encoded in UTF-8)
 valLen: 26
