  - ### Method Detail

    - #### of

          public static Character.UnicodeBlock of(char c)

      Returns the object representing the Unicode block containing the given character, or `null` if the character is not a member of a defined block.

      Note: This method cannot handle supplementary characters. To support all Unicode characters, including supplementary characters, use the `of(int)` method.

      Parameters:
        `c` - The character in question
      Returns:
        The `UnicodeBlock` instance representing the Unicode block of which this character is a member, or `null` if the character is not a member of any Unicode block

    - #### of

          public static Character.UnicodeBlock of(int codePoint)

      Returns the object representing the Unicode block containing the given character (Unicode code point), or `null` if the character is not a member of a defined block.
      Parameters:
        `codePoint` - the character (Unicode code point) in question.
      Returns:
        The `UnicodeBlock` instance representing the Unicode block of which this character is a member, or `null` if the character is not a member of any Unicode block
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if the specified `codePoint` is an invalid Unicode code point.
      Since:
        1.5
      See Also:
        `Character.isValidCodePoint(int)`

    - #### forName

          public static final Character.UnicodeBlock forName(String blockName)

      Returns the UnicodeBlock with the given name. Block names are determined by The Unicode Standard. The file Blocks-<version>.txt defines blocks for a particular version of the standard. The `Character` class specifies the version of the standard that it supports.

      This method accepts block names in the following forms:

      1. Canonical block names as defined by the Unicode Standard. For example, the standard defines a "Basic Latin" block. Therefore, this method accepts "Basic Latin" as a valid block name. The documentation of each UnicodeBlock provides the canonical name.
      2. Canonical block names with all spaces removed. For example, "BasicLatin" is a valid block name for the "Basic Latin" block.
      3. The text representation of each constant UnicodeBlock identifier. For example, this method will return the `BASIC_LATIN` block if provided with the "BASIC_LATIN" name. This form replaces all spaces and hyphens in the canonical name with underscores.
      Finally, character case is ignored for all of the valid block name forms. For example, "BASIC_LATIN" and "basic_latin" are both valid block names. The en_US locale's case mapping rules are used to provide case-insensitive string comparisons for block name validation.

      If the Unicode Standard changes block names, both the previous and current names will be accepted.

      Parameters:
        `blockName` - A `UnicodeBlock` name.
      Returns:
        The `UnicodeBlock` instance identified by `blockName`
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if `blockName` is an invalid name
        `NullPointerException` - if `blockName` is null
      Since:
        1.5
