Normally, you should be able to pass a unicode object directly to a "wchar_t *" argument and get a complete wchar_t-encoded string. (Note that wchar_t is 16-bit on Windows but 32-bit on Linux, for example.)
Armin thanks for the clarification. From your note, i see what went wrong. We were directly passing pypy's UTF-32 (we are testing on linux) to SQLite's UTF-16 API. So this is why we only got the first character on the SQLite side. Also linux's 32 bit wchars are unfortunate in our case, because SQLite only supports UTF-8 and UTF-16 in their API. So there is no way on linux to directly pass pypy's unicode strings to SQLite. l.
