Reads a Unicode character from this stream in little-endian order.
This method reads two
bytes from the stream, starting at the current stream pointer.
If the bytes read, in order, are
<code>b1</code> and <code>b2</code>, where
<code>0&nbsp;&lt;=&nbsp;b1,&nbsp;b2&nbsp;&lt;=&nbsp;255</code>,
then the result is equal to:
<blockquote><pre>
    (char)((b2 &lt;&lt; 8) | b1)
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
This method blocks until the two bytes are read, the end of the
stream is detected, or an exception is thrown.

@return     the next two bytes of this stream as a Unicode character.
@exception  EOFException  if this stream reaches the end before reading
              two bytes.
@exception  IOException   if an I/O error occurs.
