23/**
24 * The wrapper for the primitive type {@code char}. This class also provides a
25 * number of utility methods for working with characters.
26 *
27 * <p>Character data is kept up to date as Unicode evolves.
28 * See the <a href="../util/Locale.html#locale_data">Locale data</a> section of
29 * the {@code Locale} documentation for details of the Unicode versions implemented by current
30 * and historical Android releases.
31 *
32 * <p>The Unicode specification, character tables, and other information are available at
33 * <a href="http://www.unicode.org/">http://www.unicode.org/</a>.
34 *
35 * <p>Unicode characters are referred to as <i>code points</i>. The range of valid
36 * code points is U+0000 to U+10FFFF. The <i>Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP)</i>
37 * is the code point range U+0000 to U+FFFF. Characters above the BMP are
38 * referred to as <i>Supplementary Characters</i>. On the Java platform, UTF-16
39 * encoding and {@code char} pairs are used to represent code points in the
40 * supplementary range. A pair of {@code char} values that represent a
41 * supplementary character are made up of a <i>high surrogate</i> with a value
42 * range of 0xD800 to 0xDBFF and a <i>low surrogate</i> with a value range of
43 * 0xDC00 to 0xDFFF.
44 * <p>
45 * On the Java platform a {@code char} value represents either a single BMP code
46 * point or a UTF-16 unit that's part of a surrogate pair. The {@code int} type
47 * is used to represent all Unicode code points.
48 *
49 * <a name="unicode_categories"><h3>Unicode categories</h3></a>
50 * <p>Here's a list of the Unicode character categories and the corresponding Java constant,
51 * grouped semantically to provide a convenient overview. This table is also useful in
52 * conjunction with {@code \p} and {@code \P} in {@link java.util.regex.Pattern regular expressions}.
