Retrive two byte string from indesign document

Question

Hello All ,
I want to retrive two byte character string from indesign document.
The way I use to retrive text from indesign I get it in WideString format which is 32 bit value.
When I convert WideString to PMString I get string which represent characters
eg. if WideString is E20F then
PMString to GetCString is 45323046 //represent character position
I want to put logic to left shift E with 4 and , OR next byte 2
i.e E<<4 => E0 | 2 => E2 .
But not able to retrive value of char as E but I get it as 45 which is character position in font.
I want char *str should contained 1 byte->E2 and 2 byte->0F
I want to convert WideString to 2 byte string , Please give solution.
Regards,
Pallavi.

Hello T Schneider ,
Thanks for Reply.
using below code I am able to get Widestring in uchar16 * format.
WideStringConstUTF32Iter iter = wsText.begin();
WideStringConstUTF32Iter last = wsText.end();
uchar16 * wstwobyte = (uchar16 *)malloc(sizeof(uchar16)* wstringlen);
int k =0;
while(iter != last)
* wstwobyte = *iter;
iter++;k++; wstwobyte++;
*wstwobyte = (uchar16 )'\0';
But how to end the uchar16 string, and iterate it again.
I want to pass this string to a function having datatype for input string as usigned short * .
