so, Java is still 16-bit Unicode in its char primitive,
but you can use ints to hold UTF-16 values using 21-bits?
The 21-bit values are represented by pairs of Java chars, the first from the
UTF-16 high-surrogate range, the second from the low-surrogate range. The
21-bit code point can be accessed as an int by some of the java.lang.Character
methods introduced in 1.5.
especially since java.lang.Character only takes a char as a
constructor parameter :(
Yes, I think all the new Character methods related to code points are static;
there are corresponding instance methods in java.lang.String though.
There is some information about this in the link that Johnny pointed out
(excellent and very readable document in general (for a change)) :
http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/core/basic/intl/faq.jsp#core-locale
paragraph : How is text represented in the Java platform?
And there is more here :
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Character.html#unicode
It's amazing what one finds, when one knows what one is looking for..
