- * characters from uppercase to lowercase and vice versa.

- * Character information is based on the Unicode Standard, version 11.0.0.
- * <p>
- * The methods and data of class {@code Character} are defined by
- * the information in the <i>UnicodeData</i> file that is part of the
- * Unicode Character Database maintained by the Unicode
- * Consortium. This file specifies various properties including name
- * and general category for every defined Unicode code point or
- * character range.

- * The code point, U+32FF, is reserved by the Unicode Consortium
- * to represent the Japanese square character for the new era that begins
