    It may be even simpler than that: U+0427 may have appeared in his message in
    UTF-8 because of his mail client.

    It could be that he's asking how to convert from an int holding the number
    1063 to a wchar_t holding U+0427.

    The answer to this question is:

            int charValue = 1063;

            wchar_t utf16Char = (wchar_t)charvalue;

    Cheers
