I would like to access some of the characters from "CJK Unified Ideographs Extension B." These are all in the range of 20000-2A6DF. (direct link: http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U20000.pdf )
"Basic Latin" appears in 0000-007F range. The original "CJK Unified Ideographs" all appear within the 4E00–9FAF range. These are all easy to access with U+xxxx (4 x's). In Java, the format /uxxxx works just fine (and also the same for http://www.macchiato.com/unicode/ ). However, how do you access the characters in the larger ranges (ie, U+xxxxx or /uxxxxx)? Directly using the 5 value format /uxxxxx produces are Unicode character followed by the 5th x. Here is a quick example: public class UniStringTest { static public void main(String[] args) { String s1 = "\u963F"; // displays fine; standard /uxxxx (4x's) System.out.println(s1); String s2 = "\u9FA0"; // also displays fine; standard /uxxxx (4x's) System.out.println(s2); String s3 = "\u2A6A5"; // biggest character that I know (5x's) but doesn't process System.out.println(s3); } } I understand this isn't a programming ML, but I just used the Java program as an example. I'd appreciate some input. Thanks, Ben Monroe
