Get unicode value of character

Question

Is there any way to get the keycode of a char? For example

getKeycode(\'C\');

Is there anything like that?

Thanks

Answer 1

public static int KeyEvent.getExtendedKeyCodeForChar( int key );

This will return an extended key code for the unicode character key.

As stated at here:

Returns: for a unicode character with a corresponding VK_ constant -- this VK_ constant; for a character appearing on the primary level of a known keyboard layout -- a unique integer. If a character does not appear on the primary level of a known keyboard, VK_UNDEFINED is returned.
