Reading Theo's question again, I see that he was talking about having
downloaded
While I would expect the answer to my question to be true,
one never knows what lurks in the heart of data files.
Unihan.txt contains at least two properties for each of the
four dictionaries used in the sorting algorithm. One property
contains only characters that are actually in the dictionary

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;

I think this was just a confused way of asking how to
convert UTF-16 into UTF-8:
U+0427 is the Unicode encoded character.
0x0427 is the UTF-16 character encoding form for it.
0xD0 0xA7 is the UTF-8 character encoding form for it.
Mino, sample code for how to do this is available at:

Mino,
This is not at clear:
the character U+0427 is Ð in the Cyrillic block, and what does this have to
do with the two characters à and Â, which are U+ 00D0 and U+00A7 ?
Are you wondering how to store 0x0427 in a binary file ? Or what ?

Yes, it's reasonable. In fact, the data have already been added, but
this was done just too late for inclusion in the 4.0.1 release.

That is an incorrect assumption.

Would it be reasonable to expect that data concerning the
ten characters added to JIS X 0213 by Amendment 1 will
make it into the next version of Unihan.txt? I'm presuming
that this is official since ISO-IR-233, which updates
ISO-IR-228, was released on 13 April.
