You should get the String using scanner.next() and invoke String.charAt(0) method on the returned String.
Exmple :

    import java.util.Scanner;

    public class InputC{


            public static void main(String[] args) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                   // Declare the object and initialize with
                   // predefined standard input object
                    Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
                    System.out.println("Enter a character: ");
                    // Character input
                    char c = scanner.next().charAt(0);
                    // Print the read value
                    System.out.println("You have entered: "+c);
            }


        }

output

Enter a character: 
a
You have entered: a
