This project concludes the series of character studies by exploring a Cyrillic symbol. It demonstrates that Java's char type natively supports a wide range of global characters through the Unicode standard.

Task 63: Find and display the Unicode numeric code for the character 'Ж'.

Requirements:

• Declare a char variable and assign it the value 'Ж'.
• Perform an integer conversion to reveal the numeric code.
• Print the result in the exact format: Symbol code 'Ж': ....

• Encoding Mastery: Utilizing Java's UTF-16 character representation to handle non-ASCII characters.
• Data Transformation: Seamlessly casting between character and integer types for data inspection.

• Unicode Range: While 'W' was in the basic Latin range (87), 'Ж' is located in the Cyrillic block, resulting in a significantly higher numeric value.
• Memory Consistency: Regardless of the symbol, Java allocates 2 bytes for any char variable.

Symbol code 'Ж': 1046
