toUTF16 can transcode from UTF-8. As linked there, byUTF!wchar does the 
same but lazily.

import std.utf;
string s8 = "foobär"; /* UTF-8 */
wstring s16_eager = s8.toUTF16; /* UTF-16 */
auto s16_lazy = s8.byUTF!wchar; /* also UTF-16, but a range */

You can also just do to!wstring on a string, though I think that that calls
toUTF16 internally.
