I made the same mistake at first. The concepts felt backward to me, it seemed like we should encode text into the format we were aiming for. So If I wanted UTF16 I should encode it that way. If I wanted UTF8 for outbound text I should decode the UTF16 that LC uses.

When the receiving server scripts went haywire I finally figured it out, but not before the Rails programmer wrote code to undo the gibberish I was sending.

It should have been

   put textDecode(pStr, "UTF8") into pStr

With that changed, my tiny test script works properly
