You have to use the Java Scanner class to read in the next line and get the first character of that line. Refer to this StackOverflow Question

You can use Scanner and the findInLine method:

Scanner inputTaker = new Scanner(System.in);
String input = inputTaker.nextLine();
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(input);
char someCharacter = scanner.findInLine(".").charAt(0);
// Do something with character

I think there is no need of creating a new instance once again for the Scanner class.

Scanner inputLine = new Scanner(System.in);
char[] charArray = inputLine.toCharArray();
System.out.println(charArray[0]);// 0 is used for example and you can use it based on your requirement.
