To split a string with any Unicode whitespace  you need to use s split  quot   U   s  quot                  The   U  inline embedded flag option is the equivalent of Pattern UNICODE CHARACTER CLASS that enables  s shorthand character class to match any characters from the whitespace Unicode category  If you want to split with whitespace and keep the whitespaces in the resulting array  use s split  quot   U    lt    s      S     lt    S      s  quot    See the regex demo  See Java demo  String s    quot Hello t World u00A0   quot   System out println Arrays toString s split  quot   U   s  quot           gt   Hello  World      System out println Arrays toString s split  quot   U    lt    s      S     lt    S      s  quot           gt   Hello       World

All you need is to split using the one of the special character of Java Ragex Engine  and that is- WhiteSpace Character   d  Represents a digit   0-9   D  Represents a non-digit    0-9   s  Represents a whitespace character including    t n x0B f r   S  Represents a non-whitespace character as    s   v  Represents a vertical whitespace character as   n x0B f r x85 u2028 u2029   V  Represents a non-vertical whitespace character as    v   w  Represents a word character as  a-zA-Z 0-9   W  Represents a non-word character as    w   Here  the key point to remember is that the small leter character  s represents all types of white spaces including a single space       tab characters            or anything similar  So  if you ll try will something like this- String theString    quot Java lt a space gt  lt a tab gt Programming quot  String   allParts   theString split  quot   s  quot     You will get the desired output   Some Very Useful Links   Split   method Best Examples Regexr split-Java 11 RegularExpInfo PatternClass   Hope  this might help you the best
