Character Type

Character Type

Character type is a single character (16-bit number of a Unicode table character). It is declared in C# with the keyword char. The Unicode table is a technological standard that represents any character (letter, punctuation, etc.) from all human languages as writing systems (all languages and alphabets) with an integer or a sequence of integers. More about the Unicode table can be found in the chapter "Strings and Text Processing". The smallest possible value of a char variable is 0, and the largest one is 65535. The values of type char are letters or other characters, and are enclosed in apostrophes.
