Using Replace function in Kotlin

Question

I am try to replace the cyrlic characters by using Latin The following codes works

val kztext83: String = kztext82.replace('ə','ä')

but the actual translation is not ä , it is a'

Since a' is two character i am getting errror for

val kztext83: String = kztext82.replace('ə','a'')

Error is - too many character in character literal ?

I tried many ways including creating string , not fixing the issues

I try "ə".replace("ə","a'") in the kotlin REPL and it works — Fredy Mederos

Instead of replacing chars, try using Strings:

val kztext83: String = kztext82.replace("ə","a'")

Which means replacing the double quotes with single.

You can't have two chars in a single char ('a' is a char object) meaning 'a\'' is not valid.
