/**
 * This class is intended to handle <char> element.
 * This element specifies {@code char} values.
 * The class {@link Character} is used as wrapper for these values.
 * The result value is created from text of the body of this element.
 * The body parsing is described in the class {@link StringElementHandler}.
 * For example:<pre>
 * <char>X</char></pre>
 * which is equivalent to {@code Character.valueOf('X')} in Java code.
 * <p>The following attributes are supported:
 * <dl>
 * <dt>code
 * <dd>this attribute specifies character code
 * <dt>id
 * <dd>the identifier of the variable that is intended to store the result
 * </dl>
 * The {@code code} attribute can be used for characters
 * that are illegal in XML document, for example:<pre>
 * <char code="0"/></pre>
