I intended to implement the string concatenation function with destination
buffer size check, it is u16_strlcat().
strncat() is not safe. strncat() has size parameter, but it indicates
the size to be copied to the destination, not the size of the
destination buffer.

Yes, you are correct.
I need to care about the case that the size is an odd number.
