```
public class XMLChar
extends java.lang.Object
```
This class defines the basic XML character properties. The data in this class can be used to verify that a character is a valid XML character or if the character is a space, name start, or name character.
A series of convenience methods are supplied to ease the burden of the developer. Because inlining the checks can improve per character performance, the tables of character properties are public. Using the character as an index into the CHARS array and applying the appropriate mask flag (e.g. MASK_VALID), yields the same results as calling the convenience methods. There is one exception: check the comments for the isValid method for details.

  - isSupplemental
```
public static boolean isSupplemental(int c)
```
    Returns true if the specified character is a supplemental character.
    
    Parameters:
    
    c - The character to check.
  - supplemental
```
public static int supplemental(char h,
                               char l)
```
    Returns true the supplemental character corresponding to the given surrogates.
    
    Parameters:
    
    h - The high surrogate.
    
    l - The low surrogate.
  - highSurrogate
```
public static char highSurrogate(int c)
```
    Returns the high surrogate of a supplemental character
    
    Parameters:
    
    c - The supplemental character to "split".
  - lowSurrogate
```
public static char lowSurrogate(int c)

    Returns the low surrogate of a supplemental character
    
    Parameters:
    
    c - The supplemental character to "split".

```
public static boolean isValidJavaEncoding(java.lang.String javaEncoding)
