 Compare | Compares two character code units. |
| ConvertFromInt32 | Converts a 32-bit signed integer value to a 16-bit signed integer as a character. |
| ConvertFromUtf32 | Converts the specified Unicode code point into a UTF-16 encoded string. |
| ConvertToInt32 | Converts the character value to a 32-bit signed integer. |
| ConvertToUtf32 | Converts the value of a UTF-16 encoded surrogate pair into a Unicode code point. |
| ConvertToUtf32Str | Converts the value of a UTF-16 encoded character or surrogate pair at a specified position in a string into a Unicode code point. |
| Equals | Evaluates two character code units for equality. |
| IsHighSurrogate | Indicates whether the specified character has a high surrogate code unit. |
| IsHighSurrogateStr | Indicates where the character in the string at the specified index is a high surrogate code unit. |
| IsLowSurrogate | Indicates whether the specified character has a low surrogate code unit. |
| IsLowSurrogateStr | Indicates where the character in the string at the specified index is a low surrogate code unit. |
| IsSurrogate | Indicates whether the specified character has a surrogate code unit. |
| IsSurrogateStr | Indicates whether the character at the specified position in a specified string has a surrogate code unit. |
| IsWhiteSpace | Indicates if a character is white space. |
| IsWhiteSpaceStr | Indicates if the specified character in a string is white space. |
A character is represented as a Unicode code point as a UTF-16 code unit from U+0000 to U+FFFF. Because Visual Basic does not contain an unsigned 16-bit integer type, VBCorLib utilizes the Integer type. The two types have the same binary representation, but have different numeric ranges. This leads to some difficulties when needing to compare characters for sort order.
If characters with the high bit set need to be compared then use the Char.Equals and Char.Compare methods to ensure correct results.
