Best Answer

A character set is a set of characters like QWERTY that is the standard character set for the keyboard. It includes all the characters you can see on your keyboard, but also ones that you cannot see, like letters from foreign alphabets, or special mathematical symbols or currency symbols. If you know how, it is possible to type them from your keyboard, even though you cannot see them on the keys, by using code numbers that the character sets have for each character. There are different character sets used on computers. Some of the well known ones are ASCII and UniCode. You can also get special characters through the Insert Symbol options in some applications, like word processors.

What are the Characters in java?

The Java programming language is represented by the basic source character set from the US variant of the international 7-bit character set ISO 646-1983 called ASCII (ANSI3.4-1968). This is the same character set used by both C and C++ and also by the vast majority of high and low level programming languages. To use an extended character set for source code, the programming environment needs to map the extended character set into the basic source set. This can be achieved in several ways, such as by utilising universal character names.
