Java Characters

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/data/characters.html

Java provides a wrapper class that "wraps" the char in a Character object for this purpose. An object of type Character contains a single field, whose type is char. 

char ch = 'a'; 
// Unicode for uppercase Greek omega character
char uniChar = '\u03A9';
// an array of chars
char[] charArray = { 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e' };

Note: The Character class is immutable, so that once it is created, a Character object cannot be changed.

Character ch = new Character('a');
