Seems like 1000+ warriors (in java) didn't have an issue with this.

Oh I found out I was trying to concat a char with a string; however, there is still issues with this challenge even when you put the unicode into a string. Running my code on coderpad or repl works just fine.

You got an error from putting the pound sign under a string format?

Seems like, this kata has issues only in Java language. Let's wait till someone reslove the issue.

Anyone else having issues with the pound sign in Java. Keep getting "error: unmappable character for encoding ASCII".
