How would I convert a string that has the value of "\u0020" (as an example) into a char?

Thanks for the help.

You can use the String.charAt(index) method.
If there's just one character in the String, just use charAt(0).

There isn't. I want to turn the Unicode value into a single char.

So, the string with the value of "\u0020" should be the char of ' ' (space).

Huh? I don't want to get an individual char from a string.

For example, if I have a JTextField and a JLabel. The user literally types in the JTextField "\u004D", the JLabel should display an 'M'.

However, I figured it out. Just take the last four characters of the string (running under the assumption that it is a valid Unicode number), and put it through Integer.parseInt(string, 16); Cast that result to a char, and done.
