Razred Character na splošno ovije vrednost vsega primitivnega tipa char v objekt. Vsak objekt tipa Character lahko vsebuje eno polje, katerega tip je char.

Vsa polja, metode in konstruktorji razreda Character so določeni v podatkovni datoteki Unicode, ki je zlasti del zbirke podatkov znakov Unicode in jo vzdržuje Unicode Consortium.

Nabor znakov v razponu od U+0000 do U+FFFF je včasih znan kot osnovna večjezična ravnina (tj. BMP). Znaki, katerih kodne točke so večje od U+FFFF, so znani kot dodatni znaki. Jezik Java na splošno uporablja metodo kodiranja UTF-16 za predstavitev nizov znakov v nizu ali medpomnilniku nizov. Pri tej vrsti predstavitve so dodatni znaki predstavljeni kot par znakov, prvi je iz visoko nadomestnega obsega (uD800-uDBFF), drugi pa iz nizko nadomestnega obsega (uDc00- uDBFF).

Metode

Primer 1

 import java.util.Scanner; public class JavaCharacterExample1 { public static void main(String[] args) { // Ask the user for the first input. System.out.print('Enter the first input:'); // Use the Scanner class to get the user input. Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in); // Gets the user input. char[] value1 = scanner.nextLine().toCharArray(); int result1 = 0; // Count the characters for a specific character. for (char ch1 : value1) { result1 = Character.charCount(ch1); } // Print the result. System.out.print('The value comes to: '+result1+'
'); System.out.print('Enter the second input:'); char[] value2 = scanner.nextLine().toCharArray(); for (char ch2 : value2) { int result2 = Character.hashCode(ch2); System.out.print('The hash code for the character ''+ch2+'' is given as:'+result2+'
'); } System.out.print('Enter the third input:'); char[] value3 = scanner.nextLine().toCharArray(); for (char ch3 : value3) { boolean result3 = Character.isDigit(ch3); if(result3){ System.out.println('The character '' + ch3 + '' is a digit. '); } else{ System.out.println('The character '' + ch3 + '' is not a digit.'); } System.out.print('Enter the fourth input:'); char[] value4 = scanner.nextLine().toCharArray(); for (char ch4 : value4) { boolean result4 = Character.isISOControl(ch4); System.out.println('The fourth character ''+ch4+'' is an ISO Control:'+result4); } } } } 

Izhod:

 Enter the first input:89 The value comes to: 1 Enter the second input:J The hash code for the character 'J' is given as:74 Enter the third input:5 The character '5' is a digit. Enter the fourth input:h The fourth character 'h' is an ISO Control:false 

Primer 2

 public class JavaCharacterExample2{ public static void main(String[] args) { // Create four char primitives ch1, ch2, ch3 and ch4. char ch1, ch2, ch3, ch4; // Assign the values to ch1, ch2, ch3 and ch4. ch1 = 'T'; ch2 = 'k'; ch3 = '
'; ch4 = 'G'; // Create four boolean primitives b1, b2, b3 and b4. boolean b1, b2, b3,b4; // Assign the results to b1, b2, b3 and b4. b1 = Character.isLetter(ch1); b2 = Character.isLowerCase(ch2); b3 = Character.isSpace(ch3); b4 = Character.isDefined(ch3); String str1 = ' The first character is a letter: ' + b1; String str2 = ' The second character is a lower-case: ' + b2; String str3 = ' The third character is for space: ' + b3; String str4 = ' The fourth character is defined in Java identifier: ' + b3; // Print the values of b1, b2, b3 and b4. System.out.println( str1 ); System.out.println( str2 ); System.out.println( str3 ); System.out.println( str3 ); } } 

Izhod:

 The first character is a letter: true The second character is a lower-case: true The third character has a space: true The third character has a space: true
