inputting a char into a System.in Scanner (see code)

I have a scanner named console and I can input things like strings and numbers no sweat. I seem to be at a loss on how to enter a char, in the book I have it lists everything but char. So is it even possible or am I better off converting a string to a char? I have the entire program working except for this one microscopic detail...

import java.util.*;

public class excercise4_12

{private static Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);

static public void main(String[] args)

{String accountNum = "";

char serCode;

System.out.println("Acount Number");

accountNum = console.nextLine();

System.out.println("Service Code");

serCode = console.next();
