public final class Character

The wrapper for the primitive type char. This class also provides a number of utility methods for working with characters.

Character data is based upon the Unicode Standard, 4.0. The Unicode specification, character tables and other information are available at http://www.unicode.org/.

Unicode characters are referred to as code points. The range of valid code points is U+0000 to U+10FFFF. The Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP) is the code point range U+0000 to U+FFFF. Characters above the BMP are referred to as Supplementary Characters. On the Java platform, UTF-16 encoding and char pairs are used to represent code points in the supplementary range. A pair of char values that represent a supplementary character are made up of a high surrogate with a value range of 0xD800 to 0xDBFF and a low surrogate with a value range of 0xDC00 to 0xDFFF.

On the Java platform a char value represents either a single BMP code point or a UTF-16 unit that's part of a surrogate pair. The int type is used to represent all Unicode code points.

public static int charCount(int codePoint)

Calculates the number of char values required to represent the specified Unicode code point. This method checks if the codePoint is greater than or equal to 0x10000, in which case 2 is returned, otherwise 1. To test if the code point is valid, use the isValidCodePoint(int) method.

Parameters:: codePoint - the code point for which to calculate the number of required chars.

toCodePoint

public static int toCodePoint(char high,
