Using %2c to read little endian probably only works on CPUs that are little endian to begin with.
"%c"

"-" Supplying a minus sign toggles the decoding to read the data encoded in little-endian byte order, rather than the default network (big-endian) byte order.
RTFM, thanks. Well, in any case, using Stdio.Buffer.sscanf() then still is the recommended way.
