		System.out.println("strip() : "+s1.strip());

		String s2 = "\t 1site \n";
		System.out.println("trim()  : "+s2.trim());
		System.out.println("strip() : "+s2.strip());

		String s3 = "\\u2000 NgDev \\u2000";
		System.out.println("trim()  : "+s3.trim());
		System.out.println("strip() : "+s3.strip());

		Character c = '\u2000';
		String cs = c + "Saveji" + c;
