The value returned is: <pre>{@code (char)((a << 8) | (b & 0xff)) }</pre> This method is suitable for reading bytes written by the {@code writeChar} method of interface {@code DataOutput}.

@return the {@code char} value read. @exception EOFException if this stream reaches the end before reading all the bytes. @exception IOException if an I/O error occurs.
