Class java.lang.Character

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----java.lang.Character

public final class Character
extends Object
implements Serializable
The Character class wraps a value of the primitive type char in an object. An object of type Character contains a single field whose type is char.

In addition, this class provides several methods for determining the type of a character and converting characters from uppercase to lowercase and vice versa.

Many of the methods of class Character are defined in terms of a "Unicode attribute table" that specifies a name for every defined Unicode code point. The table also includes other attributes, such as a decimal value, an uppercase equivalent, a lowercase equivalent, and/or a titlecase equivalent. The Unicode attribute table is available on the World Wide Web as the file:

For a more detailed specification of the Character class, one that encompasses the exact behavior of methods such as isDigit, isLetter, isLowerCase, and isUpperCase over the full range of Unicode values, see Gosling, Joy, and Steele, The Java Language Specification.

 o isLowerCase
 public static boolean isLowerCase(char ch)
Determines if the specified character is a lowercase character. A character is lowercase if it is not in the range '\u2000' through '\u2FFF', the Unicode attribute table does not specify a mapping to lowercase for the character, and at least one of the following is true:

A character is considered to be lowercase if and only if it is specified to be lowercase by the Unicode 2.0 standard (category "Ll" in the Unicode specification data file).

Of the ISO-LATIN-1 characters (character codes 0x0000 through 0x00FF), the following are lowercase:

 a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
 \u00DF \u00E0 \u00E1 \u00E2 \u00E3 \u00E4 \u00E5 \u00E6 \u00E7

Returns:
true if the character is lowercase; false otherwise.
See Also:
isLowerCase, isTitleCase, toLowerCase
 o isUpperCase
 public static boolean isUpperCase(char ch)
Determines if the specified character is an uppercase character. A character is uppercase if it is not in the range '\u2000' through '\u2FFF', the Unicode attribute table does not specify a mapping to uppercase for the character, and at least one of the following is true:

Of the ISO-LATIN-1 characters (character codes 0x0000 through 0x00FF), the following are uppercase:

Returns:
true if the character is uppercase; false otherwise.
See Also:
isLowerCase, isTitleCase, toUpperCase
 o isTitleCase
 public static boolean isTitleCase(char ch)
Determines if the specified character is a titlecase character. A character is considered to be titlecase if and only if it is specified to be titlecase by the Unicode 2.0 standard (category "Lt" in the Unicode specification data file).

The printed representations of four Unicode characters look like pairs of Latin letters. For example, there is an uppercase letter that looks like "LJ" and has a corresponding lowercase letter that looks like "lj". A third form, which looks like "Lj", is the appropriate form to use when rendering a word in lowercase with initial capitals, as for a book title.

These are the Unicode characters for which this method returns true:

Parameters:
ch - the character to be tested.
Returns:
true if the character is titlecase; false otherwise.
See Also:
isLowerCase, isUpperCase, toTitleCase
 o isDigit
 public static boolean isDigit(char ch)
Determines if the specified character is a digit. A character is considered to be a digit if it is not in the range '\u2000' <= ch <= '\u2FFF' and its Unicode name contains the word "DIGIT". For a more complete specification that encompasses all Unicode characters that are defined as digits, see Gosling, Joy, and Steele, The Java Language Specification.

These are the ranges of Unicode characters that are considered digits:
0x0030 through 0x0039 ISO-LATIN-1 digits ('0' through '9')
0x0660 through 0x0669 Arabic-Indic digits

 o isLetter
 public static boolean isLetter(char ch)
Determines if the specified character is a letter. For a more complete specification that encompasses all Unicode characters, see Gosling, Joy, and Steele, The Java Language Specification.

A character is considered to be a letter if and only if it is specified to be a letter by the Unicode 2.0 standard (category "Lu", "Ll", "Lt", "Lm", or "Lo" in the Unicode specification data file).

Note that most ideographic characters are considered to be letters (category "Lo") for this purpose.

Note also that not all letters have case: many Unicode characters are letters but are neither uppercase nor lowercase nor titlecase.

Parameters:
ch - the character to be tested.
Returns:
true if the character is a letter; false otherwise.

Returns:
true if the character may be part of a Unicode identifier; false otherwise.
See Also:
isJavaIdentifierPart, isUnicodeIdentifierPart
 o toLowerCase
 public static char toLowerCase(char ch)
The given character is mapped to its lowercase equivalent; if the character has no lowercase equivalent, the character itself is returned.

A character has a lowercase equivalent if and only if a lowercase mapping is specified for the character in the Unicode attribute table.

Note that some Unicode characters in the range '\u2000' to '\u2FFF' have lowercase mappings; this method does map such characters to their lowercase equivalents even though the method isUpperCase does not return true for such characters.

Parameters:
ch - the character to be converted.
Returns:
the lowercase equivalent of the character, if any; otherwise the character itself.
See Also:
isLowerCase, isUpperCase, toTitleCase, toUpperCase
 o toUpperCase
 public static char toUpperCase(char ch)
Converts the character argument to uppercase. A character has an uppercase equivalent if and only if an uppercase mapping is specified for the character in the Unicode attribute table.

Note that some Unicode characters in the range '\u2000' to '\u2000FFF' have uppercase mappings; this method does map such characters to their titlecase equivalents even though the method isLowerCase does not return true for such characters.

Parameters:
ch - the character to be converted.
Returns:
the uppercase equivalent of the character, if any; otherwise the character itself.
See Also:
isLowerCase, isUpperCase, toLowerCase, toTitleCase
 o toTitleCase
 public static char toTitleCase(char ch)
Converts the character argument to titlecase. A character has a titlecase equivalent if and only if a titlecase mapping is specified for the character in the Unicode attribute table.

Note that some Unicode characters in the range '\u2000' through '\u2FFF' have titlecase mappings; this method does map such characters to their titlecase equivalents even though the method isTitleCase does not return true for such characters.

There are only four Unicode characters that are truly titlecase forms that are distinct from uppercase forms. As a rule, if a character has no true titlecase equivalent but does have an uppercase mapping, then the Unicode 2.0 attribute table specifies a titlecase mapping that is the same as the uppercase mapping.

Parameters:
ch - the character to be converted.
Returns:
the titlecase equivalent of the character, if any; otherwise the character itself.
See Also:
isTitleCase, toLowerCase, toUpperCase

Returns:
the numeric value represented by the character in the specified radix.
See Also:
forDigit, isDigit
 o getNumericValue
 public static int getNumericValue(char ch)
Returns the Unicode numeric value of the character as a nonnegative integer. If the character does not have a numeric value, then -1 is returned. If the character has a numeric value that cannot be represented as a nonnegative integer (for example, a fractional value), then -2 is returned.

Parameters:
