Description

Retrieves a character from an array of characters and pushes it on the operand stack. arrayref is a reference to an array of chars. index is an int. The arrayref and index are removed from the stack, and the 16-bit unsigned Unicode character at the given index in the array is retrieved, zero extended to a 32-bit int, and pushed onto the stack.

Example

; This is like the Java code:
;     char x = arr[0];
; where x is local variable 2 and arr is a
; char array in local variable 1
aload_1       ; load local variable 1 onto the stack
iconst_0      ; push the integer 0 onto the stack
caload        ; retrieve the entry
istore_2      ; store the entry in local variable 2
