Hi, have a look at the Encoding class, in particular UTF8 property and GetChars/GetString methods. :)

string hex; hex = "012b"; hex = "0160"; int hexAsInteger = int.Parse(hex, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber); char charValue = (char)hexAsInteger; MessageBox.Show(charValue.ToString());

I was unaware of class UInt16Converter. However the MSDN doc says "You should never create an instance of a UInt16Converter. Instead, call the GetConverter method of TypeDescriptor." So you may want to modify your code snippet. :)
