I solve this problem two ways. First I use substring which is relatively fast for small strings, since it simply grabs the characters within a set of given bounds. The second uses regular expressions, which have a higher overhead for such short strings, but work correctly with all Unicode code points, not just those in the Basic Multilingual Plane.
<syntaxhighlight lang="java">public class RM_chars {
Line 1,107:

room</pre>
Nearly all current solutions for this task fail to work correctly: the task says "The program must reference logical characters (code points), not 8-bit code units for UTF-8 or 16-bit code units for UTF-16." The code below works correctly with all Unicode characters, without using regular expressions as the above program does.
<syntaxhighlight lang="java">public class SubstringTopAndTail {
public static void main( String[] args ){
var s = "\uD83D\uDC0Eabc\uD83D\uDC0E"; // Horse emoji, a, b, c, horse emoji: "🐎abc🐎"
var sizeOfFirstChar = Character.isSurrogate(s.charAt(0)) ? 2 : 1;
var sizeOfLastChar = Character.isSurrogate(s.charAt(s.length() - 1)) ? 2 : 1;
var removeFirst = s.substring(sizeOfFirstChar);
var removeLast = s.substring(0, s.length() - sizeOfLastChar);
var removeBoth = s.substring(sizeOfFirstChar, s.length() - sizeOfLastChar);
System.out.println(removeFirst);
System.out.println(removeLast);
System.out.println(removeBoth);
}
}</syntaxhighlight>
Results:
<pre>abc🐎
🐎abc
abc</pre>

Basic RPL:
"Knight" 2 OVER SIZE SUB
"Socks" 1 OVER SIZE 1 - SUB
"Brooms" 2 OVER SIZE 1 - SUB
From HP-48 versions, one can also do this way:
"Knight" TAIL
"Socks" REVLIST TAIL REVLIST
"Brooms" TAIL REVLIST TAIL REVLIST

As Wren's string slicing and other built-in methods generally work at the byte level, we use the above module for this task which works at the code-point level.
