What the meaning of various types of white space in Java?

java, spaces, string

Solution

Looks like you left out the operators, but I'm interpreting you to want to know how various Java APIs handle those characters.

The Java handling of these characters is determined by their Unicode character properties. See the Unicode spec to see what properties they have, and thus what the different functions in Character return for them.

www.unicode.org will tell you all you ever wanted to know about Unicode properties.

Problem

What is difference of below escape sequences for white space? \t, \n, \x0B, \f and \r.
