```c
napi_status NAPI_CDECL node_api_create_property_key_utf16(napi_env env,
const char16_t* str,
size_t length,
napi_value* result);
```

* `[in] env`: The environment that the API is invoked under.
* `[in] str`: Character buffer representing a UTF16-LE-encoded string.
* `[in] length`: The length of the string in two-byte code units, or
`NAPI_AUTO_LENGTH` if it is null-terminated.
* `[out] result`: A `napi_value` representing an optimized JavaScript `string`
to be used as a property key for objects.

Returns `napi_ok` if the API succeeded.

This API creates an optimized JavaScript `string` value from
a UTF16-LE-encoded C string to be used as a property key for objects.
The native string is copied.

Many JavaScript engines including V8 use internalized strings as keys
to set and get property values. They typically use a hash table to create
and lookup such strings. While it adds some cost per key creation, it improves
the performance after that by enabling comparison of string pointers instead
of the whole strings.

If a new JavaScript string is intended to be used as a property key, then for
some JavaScript engines it will be more efficient to use
the `node_api_create_property_key_utf16` function.
Otherwise, use the `napi_create_string_utf16` or
`node_api_create_external_string_utf16` functions as there may be additional
overhead in creating/storing strings with this method.

The JavaScript `string` type is described in
[Section 6.1.4][] of the ECMAScript Language Specification.
