NAME

std::iswpunct - std::iswpunct

Synopsis

Defined in header <cwctype>
int iswpunct( std::wint_t ch );

Checks if the given wide character is a punctuation character, i.e. it is one of
!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~ or any punctuation 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 punctuation character, zero otherwise.

Notes

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

Example

// Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <cwctype>
#include <clocale>

int main()
{
wchar_t c = L'\u2051'; // Two asterisks ('⁑')

std::cout << std::hex << std::showbase << std::boolalpha;
std::cout << "in the default locale, iswpunct(" << (std::wint_t)c << ") = "
<< (bool)std::iswpunct(c) << '\n';
std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.utf8");
std::cout << "in Unicode locale, iswpunct(" << (std::wint_t)c << ") = "
<< (bool)std::iswpunct(c) << '\n';
}

Output:

in the default locale, iswpunct(0x2051) = false
in Unicode locale, iswpunct(0x2051) = true
