C# in a Nutshell

Name

Char

Synopsis

This simple value type represents a 16-bit Unicode character (from hexadecimal 0x0000 to 0xFFFF). You can convert a character to upper- or lowercase and get its numeric representation using the methods of a Char object. You can also test whether it is a number, letter, or symbol by using the methods prefixed with Is. For exact information, use the GetUnicodeCategory() method to get an enumerated value from System.Globalization.UnicodeCategory. This classifies the character into one of about thirty categories.

In C#, this type is aliased as char. If you need an array of chars, use the String class.
