InputStream in is expected to contain:

1. ushort nChars
2. byte is16BitFlag

2. byte[]/char[] characterData

For this encoding, the is16BitFlag is always present even if nChars==0.
This method should be used when the nChars field is not stored as a ushort immediately before the is16BitFlag. Otherwise, readUnicodeString(LittleEndianInput) can be used.
