• It has an entry in the UnicodeData file.
• It has a value in a range defined by the UnicodeData file.

Following is the declaration for java.lang.Character.isDefined() method

public static boolean isDefined(int codePoint)

Parameters

Example

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

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.lang.*;

public class CharacterDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // create a int primitive cp
      int cp;

      // assign values to cp
      cp = 0x012345;

      // create a boolean primitives b
      boolean b;

      // assign isDefined result of cp to b
      b = Character.isDefined(cp);

      String str = "cp has defined meaning in Unicode is " + b;

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

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

cp has defined meaning in Unicode is true
