You should call g_convert, with the src_encoding properly set to the
same type as the chinese character to convert.

Known chinese encodings are:
(Simplified):
EUC-CN, GBK, GB18030, ISO-2022-CN
(Traditional):
BIG5, BIG5HKSCS, EUC-TW

So, if the character is encoded in BIG5, the proper call is:

gchar* dest = g_convert (big5_str, -1, "BIG5", "UTF-8", NULL, NULL,
NULL);

If the source string is in another encoding, then you can replace "BIG5"
with the other encoding's name.

(the last 3 arguments are for bytes_read, bytes_written, and an optional
error-code/msg return.)
