Java:从 char 中解析 int 值

I just want to know if there's a better solution to parse a number from a character in a string (assuming that we know that the character at index n is a number).

String element = "el5";
String s;
s = ""+element.charAt(2);
int x = Integer.parseInt(s);

//result: x = 5

(不用说这只是一个例子)

String element = "el5";
int x = Character.getNumericValue(element.charAt(2));
System.out.println("x=" + x);

x=5
