Character.Subset

public static class Character.Subset extends Object

Known Direct Subclasses Character.UnicodeBlock Character.UnicodeBlock A family of character subsets representing the character blocks in the Unicode specification.

Instances of this class represent particular subsets of the Unicode character set. The only family of subsets defined in the Character class is Character.UnicodeBlock. Other portions of the Java API may define other subsets for their own purposes.

Protected Constructor Summary

Subset(String name) Constructs a new Subset instance.

Public Methods

public final boolean equals (Object obj)

Compares two Subset objects for equality. This method returns true if and only if this and the argument refer to the same object; since this method is final, this guarantee holds for all subclasses.

Parameters

obj	the object to compare this instance with.

Returns

• true if the specified object is equal to this Object; false otherwise.

public final int hashCode ()

Returns the standard hash code as defined by the Object.hashCode() method. This method is final in order to ensure that the equals and hashCode methods will be consistent in all subclasses.

Returns

• this object's hash code.

public final String toString ()

Returns the name of this subset.

Returns

• a printable representation of this object.
