Characters In Java single characters are represented using the data type char. Character constants are written as symbols enclosed in single quotes, for example, 'a', 'X', and '5'. To represent characters in computer, U. S. computer manufacturers devised several schemes for encoding characters as integers. One coding scheme widely used today is ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange).
ASCII Table 9 70 O For example, character 'O' is 79 (row value 70 + col value 9 = 79).
Character Translation char ch 1, ch 2 = ‘X’; Declaration and initialization System. out. println("ASCII of X is " + (int) 'X' ); System. out. println("Char 88 is " + (char)88 ); Type conversion between int and char. Erf … out to reality ASCIITranslate. java
Character Comparison ‘A’ < ‘c’ Spling … out to reality Char. Order. java This comparison returns true because ASCII value of 'A' is 65 while that of 'c' is 99.

The Character Class The Character class in the java. lang package includes methods for manipulating character values. Example, use is. Letter to check if a character is a-z or A-Z Zzzznicka … out to reality … Char. Games. java
Unicode To accommodate the character symbols of non. English languages, the Unicode Consortium established the Unicode Worldwide Character Standard, commonly known as Unicode.
