Name
Character.UnicodeBlock
Synopsis
This
subclass of Character.Subset defines a number of
constants that represent named subsets of the Unicode character set.
The subsets and their names are the character blocks defined by the
Unicode specification (see
http://www.unicode.org/). Java 1.4 and
5.0 both update this class to a new
version of the Unicode standard and define a number of new block
constants. The static method of(
)
takes a character or
int codepoint and returns the
Character.UnicodeBlock to which it belongs, or
null if it is not part of any defined block. When
presented with an unknown Unicode character, this method provides a
useful way to determine what alphabet it belongs to. In Java 5.0, the
forName( )
factory method allows lookup of a UnicodeBlock by
name.
