      // assign values to ch1, ch2
      ch1 = 'K';
      ch2 = '\u0e16'; // represents THAI CHARACTER THO THUNG

      // create 2 boolean primitives b1, b2
      boolean b1, b2;

      b1 = Character.isUpperCase(ch1);
      b2 = Character.isUpperCase(ch2);

      String str1 = ch1 + " is uppercase character is " + b1;
