How to write unicode cross symbol in Java?

Question

I was trying to write the unicode cross symbol in Java. But it is not working, gives the following output:

# javac A.java && java A

⌀

ဃ5

Can anyone help me with this?

Answer 1

Basically, in able to do that, you need to use UTF-16 surrogate pair form to have the cross symbol:

String cross = "\ud800\udc35";

Also, you can use 32-bit code in the form of an int:

String cross = new String(new int[] { 0x10035 }, 0, 1);

I hope this will help.
