JTextField and Chars

Question

How can I setText in a JTextField which is a char?
I do text.setText("" + character);
but it doesn't print right. However if i do System.out.println(character);
it prints it just as i want to. How can i make JTextField work with chars?

pbrockway2: Ok, as you said have it return a string. Well I gave it a go. But it only gives out just the first char of the string. Maybe you can help me figure out if there is another way. Thanks for your help.
