From cppreference.com
| Defined in header <wctype.h>
|
||
| int iswalnum( wint_t ch ); |
(since C95) | |
Checks if the given wide character is an alphanumeric character, i.e. either a number (0123456789), an uppercase letter (ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ), a lowercase letter (abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz) or any alphanumeric character specific to the current locale.
Parameters
| ch | - | wide character |
Return value
Non-zero value if the wide character is an alphanumeric character, zero otherwise.
Notes
ISO 30112 specifies which Unicode characters are include in POSIX alnum category.
Example
Run this code
#include <stdio.h> #include <locale.h> #include <wchar.h> #include <wctype.h> int main(void) { wchar_t c = L'\u13ad'; // the Cherokee letter HA ('Ꭽ') printf("in the default locale, iswalnum(%#x) = %d\n", c, !!iswalnum(c)); setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.utf8"); printf("in Unicode locale, iswalnum(%#x) = %d\n", c, !!iswalnum(c)); }
Possible output:
in the default locale, iswalnum(0x13ad) = 0 in Unicode locale, iswalnum(0x13ad) = 1
