Hi guys,I was wondering - how does gnu classpath implement char (the primitive value). The Sun Java documentation sasy that char is a 16 bit positive value that has the representation of a character in UTF-16 encoding.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Character.html (This is about the wrapper class, but it has some info on char as well). The info for char is here: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/typesValues.html#4.2.1 http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/typesValues.html#88061 http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/lexical.html#95413So it seems to me that only BMP characters are representable in char. What should be done (in programming) in order to use characters outside BMP?
