Java Character isBmpCodePoint() Method

Java isBmpCodePoint() method is a part of Character class. This method is used to determine whether the specified Unicode codepoint character is a part of the range of Basic Multilingual Plane(BMP).

It must be noted that the specified Unicode codePoints can be represented with a single char value.

Syntax:

public static Boolean isBmpCodePoint(int codePoint)  

Parameters:

The parameter passed is the Unicode codepoint character which is to be checked whether it lies in BMP or not.

Returns:

Returns boolean value true if the specified codepoint is between MIN_VALUE and MAX_VALUE inclusive range else returns false.

Example 1:

Here, the Unicode codepoint values are checked whether they lie in BMP or not.

public class StudyTonight 
{
	public static void main(String[] args) 
	{
		int cp1 = 78;
		int cp2 = 48;
		int cp3 = 90;
		int cp4 = 34;
		int cp5 = -67;

		boolean b1 = Character.isBmpCodePoint(cp1);
		boolean b2 = Character.isBmpCodePoint(cp2);
		boolean b3 = Character.isBmpCodePoint(cp3);
		boolean b4 = Character.isBmpCodePoint(cp4);
		boolean b5 = Character.isBmpCodePoint(cp5);

		System.out.println("The value for " + (char) cp1 + " is :  " + b1);
		System.out.println("The value for " + (char) cp2 + " is :  " + b2);
		System.out.println("The value for " + (char) cp3 + " is :  " + b3);
		System.out.println("The value for " + (char) cp4 + " is :  " + b4);
		System.out.println("The value for " + (char) cp5 + " is :  " + b5);
	}
}


The value for N is : true
The value for 0 is : true
The value for Z is : true
The value for " is : true
The value for ? is : false

Example 2:

Here is a user-defined example where anyone using this code can put a value of his choice and get the equivalent output.

import java.util.Scanner;
public class StudyTonight 
{
	public static void main(String[] args) 
	{
		try 
		{
			System.out.print("Enter the unicode codepoint: ");
			Scanner sc = new Scanner(System. in );
			int i = sc.nextInt();
			boolean b = Character.isBmpCodePoint(i);
			System.out.println("The value for  " + (char) i + " is :" + b);
		}
		catch(Exception e) 
		{
			System.out.println("Invalid Input!!");
		}
	}
}


Enter the unicode codepoint: -22
The value for ? is :false
*****************************************
Enter the unicode codepoint: 76
The value for L is :true
