Character.UnicodeBlock Class represents particular Character blocks of the Unicode(standards using hexadecimal values to express characters – 16 bit) specifications. Character Blocks define characters used for specific purpose.
Declaration :
public static final class Character.UnicodeBlock extends Character.Subset
Methods of Character.UnicodeBlock Class :
- forName() : java.lang.Character.UnicodeBlock.forName() returns the name of Unicode Blocks, which are determined by the Unicode Standards.
The method accepts argument as Canonical Block as per Unicode Standards.
Syntax :public static final Character.UnicodeBlock forName(String block) Parameters : block : Name of UniCode Block. Return : instance of UniCode Block. Exception : -> IllegalArgumentException -> NullPointerException
- of(char ch) : java.lang.Character.Subset.of(char ch) returns the UniCode Block having the argumented character or null if the character is not a part of any defined Unicode Block.
Syntax :
public static Character.UnicodeBlock of(char ch) Parameters : ch : character to be found. Return : returns the UniCode Block or null. Exception : -> IllegalArgumentException
- of(int UCPoint) : java.lang.Character.Subset.of(int UCPoint)returns the object having the argumented UniCode – Point or null if the character is not a part of any defined Unicode Block.
Syntax :public final String toString() Parameters : --- Return : returns the object having the argumented UniCode - Point or null Exception : -> IllegalArgumentException
// Java Program illustrating the use of // Character.UnicodeBlock class Methods. import java.lang.*; public class CharacterSubsetDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // Use of forName() : // returns Unicode Blocks, as per Unicode Standards System.out.println( "Using UnicodeBlock.forName() : " ); System.out.println(Character.UnicodeBlock.forName( "OLDITALIC" )); System.out.println(Character.UnicodeBlock.forName( "NUMBERFORMS" )); System.out.println(Character.UnicodeBlock.forName( "MALAYALAM" ) + "
" ); // Use of of(char ch) : System.out.println( "Using UnicodeBlock.of(char ch) : " ); System.out.println(Character.UnicodeBlock.of( ' ' )); System.out.println(Character.UnicodeBlock.of( 'u21ac' ) + "
" ); // Use of(int UCPoint) : System.out.println( "Using UnicodeBlock.of(int UCPoint) : " ); System.out.println(Character.UnicodeBlock.of( 1609 )); System.out.println(Character.UnicodeBlock.of( 1565 )); } } |
Output :
Using UnicodeBlock.forName() : OLD_ITALIC NUMBER_FORMS MALAYALAM Using UnicodeBlock.of(char ch) : BASIC_LATIN ARROWS Using UnicodeBlock.of(int UCPoint) : ARABIC ARABIC
Note :
lang.Character.UnicodeBlock Class inherits others methods from lang.Character.Subset Class class which in turn inherits methods from lang.Character.Object class.
