/**
 * Decodes a UTF-16BE byte array to a string
 *
 * Assumes the byte array starts with UTF-16BE BOM (0xFE 0xFF) which is skipped.
 * Each character is represented by 2 bytes (high byte, low byte).
 *
 * @param bytes - The byte array to decode (should start with BOM)
 * @returns The decoded string
 *
 * @example
 * ```typescript
 * // Byte array with BOM: 0xFE, 0xFF, 0x00, 0x50, 0x00, 0x52 -> "PR"
 * decodeFromUTF16BE(new Uint8Array([0xFE, 0xFF, 0x00, 0x50, 0x00, 0x52]))
 * // Returns "PR"
 * ```
