x ^ static_cast<unsigned char>(rem)

would be slightly better.

/RTCc yields non-conformant behavior. The behavior of the following program is well-defined (technically implementation defined since sizeof(short) is implementation defined) according to the C++ standard. In most implementations it will print 1.

#include <iostream>
int main() {
    unsigned int i = 65537;
    unsigned short s = static_cast<unsigned short>(i);
    std::cout << s << std::endl;
}
