I have a quick question. Is there any way to get the content of a string?
for example, (some-function "x12") will return x12. some-function is
what I am looking for.
Thanks in advance.

If what you are interested is the symbol X12, then you'll do:
(with-input-from-string (s "x12") (read s))
In any case, any string can be treated as a stream, using
with-input-from-string or with-output-to-string
Once you have this binding any I/O function will work on it.
