- * The code point, U+32FF, is reserved by the Unicode Consortium - * to represent the Japanese square character for the new era that begins - * May 2019. Relevant methods in the Character class return the same - * properties as for the existing Japanese era characters (e.g., U+337E for - * "Meizi"). For the details of the code point, refer to - * - * http://blog.unicode.org/2018/09/new-japanese-era.html. + * The fields and methods of class {@code Character} are defined in terms + * of character information from the Unicode Standard, specifically the + * UnicodeData file that is part of the Unicode Character Database. + * This file specifies properties including name and category for every + * assigned Unicode code point or character range.
