Only by doing the conversions in your own code, ignoring the wide
character API.

Note that you'd have to use something other than wchar_t to store UTF-32
intermediate data.  There are no standard guarantees on the size of
wchar_t, indeed there is one standard typedef "wint_t", that exists to
allow a null implementation of the API where wchar_t is char.
