char is unsigned so its minimum value is 0. It can't be negative.

In java, the range of a char type is
0 to 65535
or
0 to +((2^16)-1)
Getting java to print out the MIN_VALUE and max value is tricky because the characters at position 0 and 65535 are unprintable.  To remedy this cast the Character to an int.
System.out.println((int)Character.MIN_VALUE);
System.out.println((int)Character.MAX_VALUE);
//0
//65535
