Subject: Unicode string conversion

I'm reading a binary file in my program. It contains strings in the
Windows Unicode format, which it says is stored as little-endian in the
spefication. I'm loading it and trying to convert using Iconv, but I'm
getting a invalid character exception, on any string. Now I'm  just
stripping the \000 character from it and it works, but I know it's not
an ideal solution and it only works in some cases.
So, how can I get the string in a format Ruby can understand? By the
way, I'll load these string in GTK (with Ruby bindings), anyone knows if
it can show Unicode strings?
