std::iswalpha(3)

NAME
std::iswalpha - std::iswalpha

Synopsis
   Defined in header <cwctype>
   int iswalpha( std::wint_t ch );
   Checks if the given wide character is an alphabetic character, i.e. either an
   uppercase letter (ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ), a lowercase letter
   (abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz) or any alphabetic character specific to the current
   locale.
   If the value of ch is neither representable as a wchar_t nor equal to the value of
   the macro WEOF, the behavior is undefined.

Parameters
   ch - wide character

Return value
   Non-zero value if the wide character is a alphabetic character, 0 otherwise.

Notes
   ISO 30112 specifies which Unicode characters are include in POSIX alpha category.

Example
// Run this code
 #include <iostream>
 #include <cwctype>
 #include <clocale>
 int main()
 {
     wchar_t c = L'\u0b83'; // Tamil sign Visarga ('à®ƒ')
     std::cout << std::hex << std::showbase << std::boolalpha;
     std::cout << "in the default locale, iswalpha(" << (std::wint_t)c << ") = "
               << (bool)std::iswalpha(c) << '\n';
     std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.utf8");
     std::cout << "in Unicode locale, iswalpha(" << (std::wint_t)c << ") = "
               << (bool)std::iswalpha(c) << '\n';
 }

Output:
 in the default locale, iswalpha(0xb83) = false
 in Unicode locale, iswalpha(0xb83) = true
