Java Character isMirrored() Method

The isMirrored(char ch) method of Character class determines whether the given(or specified) character is mirrored as per the Unicode specification. The mirrored characters must have their glyphs horizontally mirrored so that when displayed in the text, they are from right-to-left.

NOTE: The above method cannot be used to handle the supplementary characters. In order to handle the supplementary characters, we can use the isMirrored (int) method.

Syntax

Parameters

ch: It is the character that needs to be tested for the mirror property.

Return Value

The isMirrored(char ch)method returns a Boolean value, i.e., true if the given(or specified) character is mirrored. Otherwise, the method returns false.

Example 1

import java.util.Scanner;
public class JavaCharacterIsMirroredExample1 {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Ask the user for the first input.
	System.out.print("Enter the first character:");
    // Use Scanner class to get the user input.
	Scanner s1 = new Scanner(System.in);
    // Gets a single character.
	char[] value1 = s1.nextLine().toCharArray();
         for (char ch1 : value1) {
    // Check whether the user input is mirrored or not.
	boolean check1 = Character.isMirrored(ch1);
    // Print the result.
	if (check1) {
	System.out.println("The first input \'" + ch1 + "\' is mirrored.");
	} else {
	System.out.println("The first input \'" + ch1 + "\' is not mirrored.");
			}
        System.out.print("Enter the second character:");
    // Use Scanner class to get the user input.
	Scanner s2 = new Scanner(System.in);
    // Gets a single character.
	char[] value2 = s2.nextLine().toCharArray();
         for (char ch2 : value2) {
    // Check whether the user input is mirrored or not.
	boolean check2 = Character.isMirrored(ch2);
    // Print the result.
	if (check2) {
	System.out.println("The second input \'" + ch2 + "\' is mirrored.");
	} else {
	System.out.println("The second input \'" + ch2 + "\' is not mirrored.");
	         }
                    }
             }
     }
}

Output:

Enter the first character:*
The first input '*' is not mirrored.
Enter the second character:[
The second input '[' is mirrored.

Example 2

public class JavaCharacterIsMirroredExample2 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
      // Create three char primitives ch1, ch2 and ch3.
      char ch1, ch2, ch3;

      // Assign the values to ch1, ch2 and ch3.
      ch1 = '{';
      ch2 = '^';
      ch3 = '&';
      // Create three boolean primitives b1, b2 and b3.
      boolean b1, b2, b3;
      // Check whether ch1, ch2 and ch3 are mirrored and assign the results to b1, b2 and b3.
      b1 = Character.isMirrored(ch1);
      b2 = Character.isMirrored(ch2);
      b3 = Character.isMirrored(ch3);
      String str1 = "The first character '"+ch1 +"' is a mirrored character: " + b1;
      String str2 = "The second character '"+ch2 +"' is a mirrored character: " + b2;
      String str3 = "The third character '"+ch3 +"' is a mirrored character: " + b3;
      // Print the values of b1, b2 and b3.
      System.out.println( str1 );
      System.out.println( str2 );
      System.out.println( str3 );
   }
}

Output:

The first character '{' is a mirrored character: true
The second character '^' is a mirrored character: false
The third character '&' is a mirrored character: false

Java Character isMirrored () Method

The isMirrored(int codePoint) method of Character class determines whether the given(or specified) character is mirrored as per the Unicode specification.

The mirrored characters must have their glyphs horizontally mirrored so that when displayed in the text, they are from right-to-left.

Syntax

Parameters

codePoint: It is the codePoint which is the character that needs to be tested.

Return Value

The isMirrored(int codePoint)method returns a Boolean value, i.e., true if the given(or specified) character is mirrored. Otherwise, the method returns false.

Example 1

public class JavaCharacterisMirroredExample_1 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
     // Initialize the four codepoints.
	 int codepoint1 = 93;
        int codepoint2 = 121;
        int codepoint3 = 168;
        int codepoint4 = 199;
     // Check whether the codePoints are mirrored or not
         boolean check1 = Character.isMirrored(codepoint1);
         boolean check2 = Character.isMirrored(codepoint2);
         boolean check3 = Character.isMirrored(codepoint3);
         boolean check4 = Character.isMirrored(codepoint4);
      // Print the results.
	if(check1){
System.out.print("The first Codepoint \'"+codepoint1 + "\' is mirrored \n");
        }    else{
System.out.print("The first codepoint \'"+codepoint1 + "\' is not mirrored\n");
		}
		
       if(check2){
System.out.print("The second codepoint \'"+codepoint2 + "\' is mirrored. \n");
        }    else{
System.out.print("The second codepoint \'"+codepoint2 + "\' is not mirrored. \n");
		}
		
       if(check3){
System.out.print("The third codepoint \'"+codepoint3 + "\' is mirrored. \n");
        }     else{
System.out.print("The third codepoint \'"+codepoint3 + "\' is not mirrored. \n");
		}
		
       if(check4){
System.out.print("The fourth codepoint \'"+codepoint4 + "\' is mirrored. \n");
        }     else{
System.out.print("The fourth codepoint \'"+codepoint4+ "\' is not mirrored. \n");
                }	
	}
}
