JAVA String to char

Question

I have a String representing the hex value of a char, such as: "0x6d4b". How can I get the character it represents as a char?

String c = "0x6d4b";
char m = ???

// Drop "0x" in order to parse
String c = "6d4b";
// Parse hexadecimal integer
int i = Integer.parseInt( c, 16 );
// Note that this method returns char[]
char[] cs = Character.toChars( i );
// Prints 测
System.out.println( cs );

are you sure it's not just ``(char)i``? – Hachi Jun 27 '12 at 07:58
Yes, if the resulting value is used as a `char`, the results are the same. The method call gives you the added bonus of readily available javadoc that tells what you're actually getting. – Gustav Barkefors Jun 27 '12 at 08:08

String s = "6d4b";
int i = Integer.parseInt( s, 16 );   // to convert hex to integer
char ca= (char) i;
System.out.println(ca);

all in one line version: `System.out.println ( (char)Integer.parseInt(c.substring(2), 16) );` – LiuYan 刘研 Jun 27 '12 at 08:45

Try this,

String s ="0x6d4b" ;
        char[] c = s.toCharArray();

        for (char cc : c){

            System.out.print(cc);
        }

@MohammadAdil It works on my side (compilation wise) but you're right, it's not what's wanted – Miquel Jun 27 '12 at 07:53
