Writing in Unicode characters in Java

To write Unicode characters in Java, you can use the escape sequence “\u” followed by the four-digit hexadecimal representation of the Unicode character. Here’s an example:

public class UnicodeExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String message = "\u0048\u0065\u006C\u006C\u006F, \u0057\u006F\u0072\u006C\u0064!";
        System.out.println(message);
    }
}

In this example, we use the escape sequence “\u” followed by the hexadecimal representation of each character to create a Unicode string. The hexadecimal values \u0048, \u0065, \u006C, and so on, correspond to the lowercase English letters ‘H’, ‘e’, ‘l’, ‘l’, ‘o’, and the comma and exclamation mark.

When you run the code, it will output:

Hello, World!

By using Unicode characters, you can write code that handles text in different languages or includes special symbols. Java provides robust support for handling Unicode characters, making it well-suited for internationalization and localization purposes.

Remember to use a Unicode character set when compiling and running your Java program to ensure proper handling of Unicode characters. You can specify the character set using the -encoding flag when compiling and running the program from the command line, such as:

javac -encoding UTF-8 UnicodeExample.java
java -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 UnicodeExample

Using Unicode characters in Java allows you to create more inclusive and globally accessible applications. So go ahead and leverage the power of Unicode to enhance your Java code! #Java #Unicode
