java.lang.Character isMirrored(char ch)
Description
This method cannot handle supplementary characters. To support all Unicode characters, including supplementary characters, use the isMirrored(int) method.
The isMirrored(char ch) method of Character class is static thus it should be accessed statically which means the we would be calling this method in this format:
Character.isMirrored(char ch)
Non static method is usually called by just declaring method_name(argument) however in this case since the method is static, it should be called by appending the class name as suffix. We will be encountering a compilation problem if we call the java isMirrored() method non statically.

Java Character isMirrored(char ch) Example
Below is a simple java example on the usage of isMirrored(char ch) method of Character class.
package com.javatutorialhq.java.examples;
import java.util.Scanner;
/*
* This example source code demonstrates the use of
* isMirrored(char ch) method of Character class.
*/
public class CharacterIsMirroredCharExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
/*
* Example: ( ) ] [ { }"
*/
// Ask for user input
System.out.print("Enter a character:");
// use scanner to get the user input
Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
// get a single character
char[] values = s.nextLine().toCharArray();
// close the scanner object
s.close();
for (char ch : values) {
// check if the user input is mirrored or not
boolean checkBool = Character.isMirrored(ch);
// print result
if (checkBool) {
System.out.println("User input '" + ch + "' is mirrored");
} else {
System.out.println("User input '" + ch + "' is not mirrored");
}
}
}
}
