ToChar of strange values

Probably a unicode answer, but why is the following valid?

char c = Convert.ToChar(1059);

Hi PHead,
unlike in some other languages where a char represents an 8-bit data
value, in .Net the char type is an alias for System.Char which represents
unicode characters that are 16 bits in length. So you can have an integral
value from U+0000 to U+ffff

Hope that helps

Because it returns Unicode character 1059 (U+0423) which is a Cyrillic
capital letter U.
