/**

 * The {@code Character} class wraps a value of the primitive

 * type {@code char} in an object. An object of class

 * {@code Character} contains a single field whose type is

 * {@code char}.

 * <p>

 * In addition, this class provides a large number of static methods for

 * determining a character's category (lowercase letter, digit, etc.)

 * and for converting characters from uppercase to lowercase and vice

 * versa.

 *

 * <p>

 * The fields and methods of class {@code Character} are defined in terms

 * of character information from the Unicode Standard, specifically the

 * <i>UnicodeData</i> file that is part of the Unicode Character Database.

 * This file specifies properties including name and category for every

 * assigned Unicode code point or character range. The file is available

 * from the Unicode Consortium at

 * <a href="http://www.unicode.org">http://www.unicode.org</a>.

 * <p>

 * The Java SE 13 Platform uses character information from version 11.0

 * of the Unicode Standard, plus the Japanese Era code point,

 * {@code U+32FF}, from the first version of the Unicode Standard

 * after 11.0 that assigns the code point.

 *

 *

 * <p>The {@code char} data type (and therefore the value that a

 * {@code Character} object encapsulates) are based on the

 * original Unicode specification, which defined characters as

 * fixed-width 16-bit entities. The Unicode Standard has since been

 * changed to allow for characters whose representation requires more

 * than 16 bits.  The range of legal <em>code point</em>s is now

 * U+0000 to U+10FFFF, known as <em>Unicode scalar value</em>.

 * (Refer to the <a

 * href="http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr27/#notation"><i>

 * definition</i></a> of the U+<i>n</i> notation in the Unicode

 * Standard.)

 *

 * <p><a id="BMP">The set of characters from U+0000 to U+FFFF</a> is

 * sometimes referred to as the <em>Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP)</em>.

 * <a id="supplementary">Characters</a> whose code points are greater

 * than U+FFFF are called <em>supplementary character</em>s.  The Java

 * platform uses the UTF-16 representation in {@code char} arrays and

 * in the {@code String} and {@code StringBuffer} classes. In

 * this representation, supplementary characters are represented as a pair

 * of {@code char} values, the first from the <em>high-surrogates</em>

 * range, (\uD800-\uDBFF), the second from the

 * <em>low-surrogates</em> range (&#92;uDC00-&#92;uDFFF).

 *

 * <p>A {@code char} value, therefore, represents Basic

 * Multilingual Plane (BMP) code points, including the surrogate

 * code points, or code units of the UTF-16 encoding. An

 * {@code int} value represents all Unicode code points,

 * including supplementary code points. The lower (least significant)

 * 21 bits of {@code int} are used to represent Unicode code

 * points and the upper (most significant) 11 bits must be zero.

 * Unless otherwise specified, the behavior with respect to

 * supplementary characters and surrogate {@code char} values is

 * as follows:

 *

 * <ul>

 * <li>The methods that only accept a {@code char} value cannot support

 * supplementary characters. They treat {@code char} values from the

 * surrogate ranges as undefined characters. For example,

 * {@code Character.isLetter('\u005CuD840')} returns {@code false}, even though

 * this specific value if followed by any low-surrogate value in a string

 * would represent a letter.

 *

 * <li>The methods that accept an {@code int} value support all

 * Unicode characters, including supplementary characters. For

 * example, {@code Character.isLetter(0x2F81A)} returns

 * {@code true} because the code point value represents a letter

 * (a CJK ideograph).

 * </ul>

 *

 * <p>In the Java SE API documentation, <em>Unicode code point</em> is

 * used for character values in the range between U+0000 and U+10FFFF,

 * and <em>Unicode code unit</em> is used for 16-bit

 * {@code char} values that are code units of the <em>UTF-16</em>

 * encoding. For more information on Unicode terminology, refer to the

 * <a href="http://www.unicode.org/glossary/">Unicode Glossary</a>.
