Public Methods

public static final Character.UnicodeBlock forName (String blockName)

Since: API Level 1

Retrieves the constant that corresponds to the specified block name. The block names are defined by the Unicode 4.0.1 specification in the Blocks-4.0.1.txt file.

Block names may be one of the following:

  • Canonical block name, as defined by the Unicode specification; case-insensitive.
  • Canonical block name without any spaces, as defined by the Unicode specification; case-insensitive.
  • UnicodeBlock constant identifier. This is determined by uppercasing the canonical name and replacing all spaces and hyphens with underscores.

Parameters
blockName the name of the block to retrieve.
Returns
  • the UnicodeBlock constant corresponding to blockName.
Throws
NullPointerException if blockName is null.
IllegalArgumentException if blockName is not a valid block name.

public static Character.UnicodeBlock of (int codePoint)

Since: API Level 1

Gets the constant for the Unicode block that contains the specified Unicode code point.

Parameters
codePoint the Unicode code point for which to get the UnicodeBlock constant.
Returns
  • the UnicodeBlock constant for the block that contains codePoint, or null if codePoint does not belong to any defined block.
Throws
IllegalArgumentException if codePoint is not a valid Unicode code point.

public static Character.UnicodeBlock of (char c)

Since: API Level 1

Gets the constant for the Unicode block that contains the specified character.

Parameters
c the character for which to get the UnicodeBlock constant.
Returns
  • the UnicodeBlock constant for the block that contains c, or null if c does not belong to any defined block.
