I'm not convinced this is correct for this case. GetProcAddress takes
an "ANSI" string, meaning while it could theoretically use UTF-8, in
practice I doubt it uses anything outside of ASCII safely. So while
the name of the library would be encoded in UTF-16, the name of the
function loaded from the library would not be.
