Hello sir/madam,

In the last para on page 44. the following sentence

Supplementary characters must be represented
either as a surrogate pair within a char sequence, or as an integer, depending on
the API they are used with.

may be replaced with

Supplementary characters must be represented
either as a surrogate pair within a java.lang.CharSequence, or as an integer, depending on
the API they are used with.

You may find this article interesting: https://www.oracle.com/technical-resources/articles/javase/supplementary.html

You’ll find the following explanation:

This article also uses the terms  character sequence or  char sequence  in many places to summarize all the containers of character sequences that the Java 2 Platform knows:  char[], implementations of  java.lang.CharSequence (such as the  String class), and implementations of  java.text.CharacterIterator.


I hope this explains the JLS terminology.

Many thanks,
Gavin
