A C++ equivalent for Encoding.Unicode.GetByteCount(str)?

This function calculates the number of bytes of the string "str" when encoded in UTF-16.

My question is, what would be a C++ equivalent to implement this?

Just standard C++

Standard C++, including C++11, is not Unicode aware. To get the kind of measuring function you're talking about, you'll have to use another support library like ICU or Windows API functions or iconv or somesuch.
