com.ibm.icu.lang.UCharacterCategory

All Implemented Interfaces:

UCharacterEnums.ECharacterCategory

public final class UCharacterCategory

Enumerated Unicode category types from the UnicodeData.txt file. Used as return results from UCharacter Equivalent to icu's UCharCategory. Refer to Unicode Consortium for more information about UnicodeData.txt.

NOTE: the UCharacterCategory values are not compatible with those returned by java.lang.Character.getType. UCharacterCategory values match the ones used in ICU4C, while java.lang.Character type values, though similar, skip the value 17.
