Example

The following example shows the usage of lang.Character.reverseBytes() method.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.lang.*;

public class CharacterDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // create 2 char primitives ch1, ch2
      char ch1, ch2;

      // assign value to ch1
      ch1 = '\u4d00';

      // assign result of reverseBytes on ch1 to ch2
      ch2 = Character.reverseBytes(ch1);

      String str = "Reversing bytes on ch1 gives " + ch2;

      // print ch2 value
      System.out.println( str );
   }
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result:

Reversing bytes on ch1 gives M
