Description
Currently, both react-native-win32.dll and react.uwp.dll export Unicode conversion functions. This is due to older versions of react native's relying on non-standard Unicode conversions. The non-standard behavior has been removed, and we should remove those functions from the dll exports.

Research direction
Locate the def files that define exports for react-native-win32.dll and react.uwp.dll, then identify the Unicode conversion exports described in the issue. Done means those obsolete functions are absent from both DLL export lists; use the repository’s existing build or export checks to verify the change.
