After googling I find a useful function as mbstowcs() which is used to convert multibyte string to wide-character string.

Below the example for this.

{
    wchar_t buf[255];
    mbstowcs(buf,(const char*)name,name.GetLength()+1);

    BYTE bytes[255];
    size_t length = wcslen(buf);
    for (size_t i = 0; i < length; i++)
    {
      bytes[i*2] = buf[i] >> 8;
      bytes[i*2+1] = buf[i] & 0xFF;
    }
  }
