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?

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.

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) );

Try this,

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

        for (char cc : c){

            System.out.print(cc);
        }
