java.lang.Character toCodePoint(char high, char low)
Description
The toCodePoint(char high, char low) 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.toCodePoint(char high, char low)
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 toCodePoint() method non statically.
Method Syntax
public static int toCodePoint(char high, char low)
Method Argument
| Data Type | Parameter | Description |
|---|---|---|
| char | high | the high-surrogate code unit |
| char | low | the low-surrogate code unit |
Method Returns
The toCodePoint(char high, char low) method of Character class returns the supplementary code point composed from the specified surrogate pair.
Compatibility
Requires Java 1.5 and up
