How to find the unicode category for a given character in Java?

A Character class is a subclass of an Object and it wraps a value of the primitive type char in an object. An object of type Character contains a single field whose type is char. We can determine the unicode category for a particular character by using the getType() method.  It is a static method of Character class and it returns an integer value of char ch representing in unicode general category.

Syntax

public static int getType(char ch)

Example

public class CharacterTypeTest {
   public static void main(String args[]) {
      System.out.println("T represnts unicode category of: " + Character.getType('T'));
      System.out.println("@ represnts unicode category of: " + Character.getType('@'));
      System.out.println(") represnts unicode category of: " + Character.getType(')'));
      System.out.println("1 represnts unicode category of: " + Character.getType('1'));
      System.out.println("- represnts unicode category of: " + Character.getType('-'));
      System.out.println("_ represnts unicode category of: " + Character.getType('_'));
      System.out.println("a represnts unicode category of: " + Character.getType('a'));
   }
}

Output

T represnts unicode category of: 1
@ represnts unicode category of: 24
) represnts unicode category of: 22
1 represnts unicode category of: 9
- represnts unicode category of: 20
_ represnts unicode category of: 23
a represnts unicode category of: 2
