Method Details

forName

public static final Character.UnicodeBlock forName(String blockName)
Returns the UnicodeBlock with the given name, as defined by the Unicode standard. The version of Unicode in use is defined by the Character class, and the names are given in the Blocks-.txt file corresponding to that version. The name may be specified in one of three ways:
  1. The canonical, human-readable name used by the Unicode standard. This is the name with all spaces and hyphens retained. For example, `Basic Latin' retrieves the block, UnicodeBlock.BASIC_LATIN.
  2. The canonical name with all spaces removed e.g. `BasicLatin'.
  3. The name used for the constants specified by this class, which is the canonical name with all spaces and hyphens replaced with underscores e.g. `BASIC_LATIN'

The names are compared case-insensitively using the case comparison associated with the U.S. English locale. The method recognises the previous names used for blocks as well as the current ones. At present, this simply means that the deprecated `SURROGATES_AREA' will be recognised by this method (the of() methods only return one of the three new surrogate blocks).

Parameters:
blockName - the name of the block to look up.
Returns:
the specified block.
Throws:
NullPointerException - if the blockName is null.
IllegalArgumentException - if the name does not match any Unicode block.
Since:
1.5

of

public static Character.UnicodeBlock of(char ch)
Returns the Unicode character block which a character belongs to. Note: This method does not support the use of supplementary characters. For such support, of(int) should be used instead.
Parameters:
ch - the character to look up
Returns:
the set it belongs to, or null if it is not in one

of

public static Character.UnicodeBlock of(int codePoint)
Returns the Unicode character block which a code point belongs to.
Parameters:
codePoint - the character to look up
Returns:
the set it belongs to, or null if it is not in one.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if the specified code point is invalid.
Since:
1.5
