Character Literals

There are several different ways of specifying single character literals in C#.  Each character is a 2-byte Unicode character and is of type char.

Here are some examples of character literals:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

char c1 = 'A'; char c2 = '^'; char c3 = '\'';    // Escape: single quote char c4 = '\\';    // Escape: backslash char c5 = '\x45';  // Hex code for ASCII 'E' char c6 = '\x20AC';  // Hex code for Euro sign char c7 = '€';     // Euro sign directly in code
