Get char value in Java

How to get the utf8 code of a char in Java?

This is a table at more values

I tried character Getnumericvalue (a), but it gives me 10 instead of 97. Why?

This seems very basic, but any help will be appreciated!

Solution

Char is actually a numeric type containing Unicode values (utf-16, specifically, you need two characters to represent characters other than BMP) You can use it to do everything, you can do an int

Character. Getnumericvalue () attempts to interpret characters as numbers
