Locale

READING

public static final AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute READING

Attribute key for the reading of some text. In languages where the written form and the pronunciation of a word are only loosely related (such as Japanese), it is often necessary to store the reading (pronunciation) along with the written form.

Values are instances of Annotation holding instances of String.

See Also:
Annotation, String

INPUT_METHOD_SEGMENT

public static final AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute INPUT_METHOD_SEGMENT

Attribute key for input method segments. Input methods often break up text into segments, which usually correspond to words.

Values are instances of Annotation holding a null reference.

Annotation

Constructors

Attribute

protected Attribute(String name)

a hash code value for this object.
See Also:
Object.equals(java.lang.Object), System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)
