  - ### CharacterCachedClass

    public CharacterCachedClass(Class klazz, ClassInfo classInfo, boolean allowNull)
    Constructs a cached class representation for the given character class.
    Parameters:
      `klazz` - the character class to cache (either `char.class` or `Character`.class)
      `classInfo` - the class information associated with this cached class
      `allowNull` - `true` to allow `null` values (for `Character`.class), `false` for primitive `char`

- ## Method Details

  - ### isDirectlyAssignable

    public boolean isDirectlyAssignable(Object argument)
    Checks if the given argument is directly assignable without type conversion.
    Overrides:
      `isDirectlyAssignable` in class `CachedClass`
    Parameters:
      `argument` - the argument to check
    Returns:
      `true` if the argument is a `Character` instance, or `null` is allowed, `false` otherwise

  - ### isAssignableFrom

    public boolean isAssignableFrom(Class classToTransformFrom)
    Determines if the given class can be transformed to char/Character.
    Overrides:
      `isAssignableFrom` in class `CachedClass`
    Parameters:
      `classToTransformFrom` - the source class to check
    Returns:
      `true` if the class can be transformed to char, `false` otherwise
