     24  * The wrapper for the primitive type {@code char}. This class also provides a
     25  * number of utility methods for working with characters.
     26  *
     27  * <p>Character data is kept up to date as Unicode evolves.
     28  * See the <a href="../util/Locale.html#locale_data">Locale data</a> section of
     29  * the {@code Locale} documentation for details of the Unicode versions implemented by current
     30  * and historical Android releases.
     31  *
     32  * <p>The Unicode specification, character tables, and other information are available at
     33  * <a href="http://www.unicode.org/">http://www.unicode.org/</a>.
     34  *
     35  * <p>Unicode characters are referred to as <i>code points</i>. The range of valid
     36  * code points is U+0000 to U+10FFFF. The <i>Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP)</i>
     37  * is the code point range U+0000 to U+FFFF. Characters above the BMP are
     38  * referred to as <i>Supplementary Characters</i>. On the Java platform, UTF-16
     39  * encoding and {@code char} pairs are used to represent code points in the
     40  * supplementary range. A pair of {@code char} values that represent a
     41  * supplementary character are made up of a <i>high surrogate</i> with a value
     42  * range of 0xD800 to 0xDBFF and a <i>low surrogate</i> with a value range of
     43  * 0xDC00 to 0xDFFF.
     44  * <p>
     45  * On the Java platform a {@code char} value represents either a single BMP code
     46  * point or a UTF-16 unit that's part of a surrogate pair. The {@code int} type
     47  * is used to represent all Unicode code points.
     48  *
     49  * <a name="unicode_categories"><h3>Unicode categories</h3></a>
     50  * <p>Here's a list of the Unicode character categories and the corresponding Java constant,
     51  * grouped semantically to provide a convenient overview. This table is also useful in
     52  * conjunction with {@code \p} and {@code \P} in {@link java.util.regex.Pattern regular expressions}.
