Character data is kept up to date as Unicode evolves. * See the Locale data section of * the {@code Locale} documentation for details of the Unicode versions implemented by current * and historical Android releases. * *
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 {@code char} pairs are used to represent code points in the * supplementary range. A pair of {@code 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 {@code char} value represents either a single BMP code * point or a UTF-16 unit that's part of a surrogate pair. The {@code int} type * is used to represent all Unicode code points. * *
Here's a list of the Unicode character categories and the corresponding Java constant,
* grouped semantically to provide a convenient overview. This table is also useful in
* conjunction with {@code \p} and {@code \P} in {@link java.util.regex.Pattern regular expressions}.
*
*
* Block names may be one of the following:
*
* If it is not necessary to get a new {@code Character} instance, it is
* recommended to use this method instead of the constructor, since it
* maintains a cache of instances which may result in better performance.
