Perhaps the correct answer is that the range for char values is the =
Unicode character set (as defined by ISO blah blah blah), and leave it =
at that. The fact that Unicode characters have a numeric equivalent is =
irrelevant. That an 'A' is an ascii 65 is a relic of days when we had to =
deal with bits and bytes to do programming.

    I recently took the Java Programmer's Certification exam.  On the =
test was a question asking what the value range is for char types.  I =
know char's are Unicode values and I know that they are 16-bit, but is =
the range 0 to 2^16 or is it like a short and the range is -2^(15) - 1 =
to 2^(15)?=20
