hi Sivarajan,

Below code will help you.

public static Boolean containsChineseCharacters(String InputString)
{
Pattern p = Pattern.compile('\\p{IsHan}');
Matcher m = p.matcher( InputString );
return m.find();
}

Please let us know if this helps you.

Thanks and Regards

Thanks for sharing. This pattern '\\p{IsHan' detects Japanese character as well. Is there way to check only Chinese characters. ?

You need to check which writing system (script (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Script_%28Unicode%29)) does Chinese language use, and then just use the script code in the regular expresion. Here is a list of Scripts codes supported by Unicode
