Java Character lowSurrogate() Method
Java lowSurrogate()
Method is a part of Character class. This method returns the trailing surrogate (a low surrogate code unit) of the surrogate pair representing the specified supplementary character (Unicode code point) in the UTF-16 encoding.
Syntax:
public static char lowSurrogate(int codePoint)
Parameters:
The parameter passed is the Unicode codepoint character whose trailing surrogate is to be returned.
Returns:
Returns the trailing surrogate code unit used to represent the specified codepoint character in the UTF-16 encoding.
Example 1:
Here, the trailing surrogate characters are returned for the specified Unicode codepoint characters.
public class StudyTonight
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int cp1 = 67;
int cp2 = 88;
int cp3 = 119;
int cp4 = 202;
int cp5 = 1232;
char ch1 = Character.lowSurrogate(cp1);
char ch2 = Character.lowSurrogate(cp2);
char ch3 = Character.lowSurrogate(cp3);
char ch4 = Character.lowSurrogate(cp4);
char ch5 = Character.lowSurrogate(cp5);
System.out.println("The trailing surrogate for " +(char)cp1 +" is "+ch1);
System.out.println("The trailing surrogate for " +(char)cp2 +" is "+ch2);
System.out.println("The trailing surrogate for " +(char)cp3 +" is "+ch3);
System.out.println("The trailing surrogate for " +(char)cp4 +" is "+ch4);
System.out.println("The trailing surrogate for " +(char)cp5 +" is "+ch5);
}
}
The trailing surrogate for C is ?
The trailing surrogate for X is ?
The trailing surrogate for w is ?
The trailing surrogate for Ê is ?
The trailing surrogate for ? is ?
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 character: ");
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
int cp = sc.nextInt();
char ch = Character.lowSurrogate(cp);
System.out.println("The trailing surrogate for " +(char)cp +" is "+ch);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println("Invalid Input!!");
}
}
}
Enter the Unicode character: 66
The trailing surrogate for B is ?
*****************************************
Enter the Unicode character: 34343
The trailing surrogate for ? is ?
