Java Program Mapping Unicode to GB2312

After published my GB2312 to Unicode conversion table, I got requests from readers asking for Unicode to GB2312 conversion table. So I modified my original program to produce a table that maps a Unicode code to a GB2312 code.

The output of this program is presented in the next chapter.
