Hi guys,

I was wondering is there a way to detect the character set? For example detect whether the characters are Chinese or English?

Thanks.

I think the answer here is "it depends". 

In what circumstances are you wanting to do this?

I just want to know whether characters users has entered are chinese characters or alphanumeric characters

I am not aware of a way to check this given a String. 

However you might be able to do this by checking each character. 

Look at the Character and Characters class.  do the methods in there help?

Remember that the characters entered are Unicode, so you might be able to check the values directly too.
