Convert char to lower case in J2ME without using the Character class

Question

I\'d like to convert a char to lower case in a J2ME app. The usual Character.toLowerCase() doesn\'t work for an arbitrary Unicode character in J2ME

Answer 1

Based on the toLowerCase() method from Character in JavaSE JDK:

char lowerChar = (char)CharacterData.of((int)upperChar).toLowerCase((int)upperChar);

You can read the source code from the JDK and understand what is really done here and apply the same thing with your own classes in JME.
