DataAnnotations Challenge (Unicode Grid Fetcher)

A solution to the Data Annotations challenge that reads a Unicode grid from an HTML table and reconstructs it in the console.

Overview

This project, part of the Data Annotations challenge, extracts and displays a grid of Unicode characters from an HTML data source, which can be fetched from a URL or read from a local Data.html file, then processes the HTML table to reconstruct and print the Unicode character grid in the console.
