+* `[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.

+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.
