Character.toLowerCase

Class Overview | Class Members | This Package | All Packages

Syntax

public static char toLowerCase( char ch )

Parameters

ch: the character to be converted.

Returns

the lowercase equivalent of the character, if any; otherwise the character itself.

Description

The given character is mapped to its lowercase equivalent; if the character has no lowercase equivalent, the character itself is returned.

A character has a lowercase equivalent if and only if a lowercase mapping is specified for the character in the Unicode attribute table.

Note that some Unicode characters in the range '\u2000' to '\u2FFF' have lowercase mappings; this method does map such characters to their lowercase equivalents even though the method isUpperCase does not return true for such characters.
