 * Wrapper class for the primitive char data type.  In addition, this class
 * allows one to retrieve property information and perform transformations
 * on the defined characters in the Unicode Standard, Version 4.0.0.
 * java.lang.Character is designed to be very dynamic, and as such, it
 * retrieves information on the Unicode character set from a separate
 * database, gnu.java.lang.CharData, which can be easily upgraded.
 *
 * <p>For predicates, boundaries are used to describe
 * the set of characters for which the method will return true.
 * This syntax uses fairly normal regular expression notation.
 * See 5.13 of the Unicode Standard, Version 4.0, for the
 * boundary specification.
 *
 * <p>See <a href="http://www.unicode.org">http://www.unicode.org</a>
 * for more information on the Unicode Standard.
