Java: isWhitespace

public static boolean isWhitespace(char ch)

Determines if the specified character is white space according to Java. A character is a Java whitespace character if and only if it satisfies one of the following criteria:

• It is a Unicode space character (SPACE_SEPARATOR, LINE_SEPARATOR, or PARAGRAPH_SEPARATOR) but is not also a non-breaking space ('\u00A0', '\u2007','\u202F').
• It is '\t', U+0009 HORIZONTAL TABULATION.
• It is '\n', U+000A LINE FEED.
• It is '\u000B', U+000B VERTICAL TABULATION.
• It is '\f', U+000C FORM FEED.
• It is '\r', U+000D CARRIAGE RETURN.
• It is '\u001C', U+001C FILE SEPARATOR.
• It is '\u001D', U+001D GROUP SEPARATOR.
• It is '\u001E', U+001E RECORD SEPARATOR.
• It is '\u001F', U+001F UNIT SEPARATOR.

Note: This method cannot handle supplementary characters. To support all Unicode characters, including supplementary characters, use the isWhitespace(int)method.

public static boolean isWhitespace(int codePoint)

Determines if the specified character (Unicode code point) is white space according to Java. A character is a Java whitespace character if and only if it satisfies one of the following criteria:

• It is a Unicode space character (SPACE_SEPARATOR, LINE_SEPARATOR, or PARAGRAPH_SEPARATOR) but is not also a non-breaking space ('\u00A0', '\u2007','\u202F').
• It is '\t', U+0009 HORIZONTAL TABULATION.
• It is '\n', U+000A LINE FEED.
• It is '\u000B', U+000B VERTICAL TABULATION.
• It is '\f', U+000C FORM FEED.
• It is '\r', U+000D CARRIAGE RETURN.
• It is '\u001C', U+001C FILE SEPARATOR.
• It is '\u001D', U+001D GROUP SEPARATOR.
• It is '\u001E', U+001E RECORD SEPARATOR.
• It is '\u001F', U+001F UNIT SEPARATOR.
