Character Classification

JDK 1.0 introduced the Character class as an object wrapper to the char data type. Character also contained some static methods such as isLowerCase() and isDigit() for determining the properties of a character. This set of methods had been extended in JDK 1.1 to allow access to all the Unicode 2.0 defined properties for a character. See the JavaDoc description of Character for details.
