title: Outputting a Unicode character in C#
body: <p>I'm new to programming and self taught.  I'm trying to output the astrological symbol for Taurus, which is supposed to be U+2649 in Unicode.  Here is the code I'm using...</p>
  
  <pre><code>string myString = "\u2649";
  byte[] unicode = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(myString);
  Console.WriteLine(unicode.Length);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The result I'm getting is the number 2 instead of the symbol or font.  I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.</p>
