 public static final Character.UnicodeBlock forName(String blockName) 
{
            UnicodeBlock block = (UnicodeBlock)map.get(blockName.toUpperCase(Locale.US));
            if (block == null) {

            return block;
}

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.

 public static Character.UnicodeBlock of(char c) 
{
                                                                                                                                
            return of((int)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.

 public static Character.UnicodeBlock of(int codePoint) 
{
            if (!isValidCodePoint(codePoint)) {
                throw new IllegalArgumentException();

            bottom = 0;
            top = blockStarts.length;
            current = top/2;
            // invariant: top  > current  >= bottom && codePoint  >= unicodeBlockStarts[bottom]
            while (top - bottom  > 1) {
                if (codePoint  >= blockStarts[current]) {
                    bottom = current;
                } else {
                    top = current;
                }
                current = (top + bottom) / 2;
            }
            return blocks[current];
}

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.
