i_name_length is in bytes.
Divided by 2 it produces the number of wchar_t's (the number of 16-bit
code units) which is i_length_in_wchars.

We are reading 2 bytes at a time from p_name (1 wchar_t at a time)

UTF-16 can take 4 bytes. In this case 2 wchar_t's will produce only
one Unicode codepoint.

I think everything is correct.
