In this article, we would like to show you how to convert a character to ASCII code in Java.

Quick solution:

xxxxxxxxxx
 
char character = 'A';
int asciiCode = (int) character;
​
System.out.println(asciiCode);  // 65

Practical example

Edit

In this example, we cast a character to the int to convert it to the ASCII code.

xxxxxxxxxx
 
public class Example {
​
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        char character = 'A';
        int asciiCode = (int) character;
​
        System.out.println(asciiCode);  // 65
    }
}

The cast is not required explicitly but improves readability.

This solution will also work:

xxxxxxxxxx
 
public class Example {
​
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        char character = 'A';
        int asciiCode = character;
​
        System.out.println(asciiCode);  // 65
    }
}
