How to find ansi value of a char in java?

Itay S :

I need to get the ANSI value of a char in java

Ive tried casting my char to an int type but it returns a value that is not its ANSI value.

is there any way to do this?

one letter in hebrew which is "ל" has the ansi value of 236 but when i cast it to int i get 1500

Erwin Bolwidt :

What you call "ANSI" is actually the Windows codepage 1255 character set (Windows-1255). It's the Hebrew codepage from Microsoft.

You can get your character value in that encoding using the following code:

public static void main(String[] args) throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
    String s = "ל";
    byte[] b = s.getBytes("Windows-1255");
    System.out.println(b[0] & 0xff);
}

This prints:

(Note: this also works on other operating systems than Windows, such as MacOS)
