Description:
------------
mb_convert_encoding 'destroys' first character when
converting from UTF16 to UTF8

(iconv works).

Reproduce code:
---------------
$utf16 = chr(0xFF).chr(0xFE).chr(0x4d).chr(0).chr(0x6f).chr(0); //'Mo'

$utf8 = mb_convert_encoding($utf16, 'UTF-8', 'UTF-16');  

echo($utf8 . "\n");     // -> ´++´¢ìo

$utf8 = iconv('UTF-16', 'UTF-8', $utf16);  

echo($utf8 . "\n");     // -> Mo 


Expected result:
----------------
mb:    (BOM8)Mo
iconv: Mo

(BOM8) is a placeholder

Actual result:
--------------
mb:    (BOM8)´¢ìo  (copied from cmd shell)
iconv: Mo

(BOM8) is a placeholder
