I tried using:

Scanner reader = new Scanner(System.in);
char c = reade

You could use typecasting:

Scanner sc= new Scanner(System.in);
char a=(char) sc.next();

This way you will take input in String due to the function 'next()' but then it will be converted into character due to the 'char' mentioned in the brackets.

This method of conversion of data type by mentioning the destination data type in brackets is called typecating. It works for me, I hope it works for u :)
