char
-
Represent one character.
-
When assigning, surround character with single quotes.
-
Example: char myChar = 'A'.
-
Uses Unicode, designed for internationalization.
-
Thus, a char type is two bytes. Previous character encoding
was usually one byte.
-
The first 256 characters mimic the original character encoding schemes.
The other 65,200 are for new characters.
-
Usually represented by the hexidecimal value, and start with \u to denote
Unicode.
-
Other special characters that need to be escaped when assigned:
-
\b Backspace
-
\t Tab
-
\n Line Feed
-
\r Carriage Return
-
\" Double Quote
-
\' Single Quote
-
\\ Backslash
boolean
-
Represent true or false.
-
That's about all I have to say about that.
