The following table shows the characters that you can use in the formatting mask:

Character	Description
#	Any valid number (Character.isDigit)
'	Escape character, used to escape any of the special formatting characters.
U	Any character (Character.isLetter). All lowercase letters are mapped to uppercase
L	Any character (Character.isLetter). All uppercase letters are mapped to lowercase
A	Any character or number (Character.isLetter or Character.isDigit)
?	Any character (Character.isLetter)
*	Anything
H	Any hex character (0-9, a-f or A-F)

Demonstration

Using in JavaFX code (without FXML)
