ChrW()

[thirith]

Dear Java developer,

I am VB.net developer and now i try to study java.
in VB.net, there is a function ChrW() that convert from Unicode code to the Character. ex. ChrW(65) it will return A.
Is there any function in Java similar to this function?

A direct cast should do the trick for you

char ch = (char) 65;

char ch = (char) 65;

Thank you,

what about the Unicode? Unicode have 2 bytes, 4 bites. It can work with this type.

Characters in java are stored as Unicode by default, but in the case of casting from an integer to an char the integer value is considered ASCII code

Java's Unicode escape sequences are in the form '\uXXXX'.

If you are using Java 1.4 or earlier then the 's.length()' gives the number (16 bit) of characters in a string or a single character. Characters with Unicode values greater than '\uFFFF' cannot be represented.

If you are using Java 1.5 string/character representing on UTF-16 encoding. So you can read characters above '\uFFFF' , as pairs of characters .

To determine the length of such a string/character,

int length = Character.codePointCount (str, 0, str.length ());

Read the Java 5 documentation to find more about the code point scheme.
