It's actually a 10 bit number.  There may be a few 18F PICs that can do 12
bit, but certainly not 16 bit.

Huh?  UARTs are quite capable of sending binary.  Using a UART does not
imply that you need to send only ASCII.  In fact, it's a good idea to send
data from a PIC in binary when possible, then let whatever presents the data
to the user do the conversion.  This is especially true when the other end
of the RS-232 link is a general purpose computer.  Keep the numbers in
binary there too and convert only to/from the user interface.
