java.lang.Character (JDK 1.0)

This class provides an immutable object wrapper around the primitive char data type. charValue() returns the char value of a Character object. A number of class methods provide the Java/Unicode equivalent of the C <ctype.h> character macros for checking the type of characters and converting to uppercase and lowercase letters. getType() returns the character type. The return value is one of the constants defined by the class, which represents a number of broad Unicode character categories.

digit() returns the integer equivalent of a given character for a given radix (e.g., radix 16 for hexadecimal). forDigit() returns the character that corresponds to the specified value for the specified radix.
