I'm trying to convert UCS-2 code to ASCII. Does anyone have an example in
C?.
thanks.

for( i=0; i!=len; ++i)
if( (ucs2[i]>=0) && (ucs2[i]<127))
ascii[i] = ucs2[i];
else
conversion_failed();
ascii[i] = '\0';

Yes, not all UCS-2 can be converted to ASCII.
Yes, character code 127 is not part of ASCII.

Yes, not all UCS-2 can be converted to ASCII. Yes, character code 127
is not part of ASCII.

According to ISO-646 and ISO-10646, character 127 is the "DEL" control
character, and is indeed part of both ASCII and Unicode.

Rubout character.

In the good old days of paper tape, you couldn't remove a mistake. Instead you
backed up and punched all columns. The resulting all ones code (31, 63, 127, or
255) was a signal that character position was supposed to be ignored.

That was, by the way, 127 plus even parity on 8 channel paper tape.
