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

Checks if the given wide character can be printed, i.e. it is either a number (0123456789), an uppercase letter (ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ), a lowercase letter (abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz), a punctuation character(!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~), space or any printable character specific to the current C 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 can be printed, zero otherwise.

Notes

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

Example

Run this code

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

int main()
{
    wchar_t c = L'\u2002'; // en-space
    std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.utf8");
    std::cout << std::boolalpha << std::hex << std::showbase
              << "in Unicode locale,\n"
              << "iswprint('" << c << "') = "
              << (bool)std::iswprint(c) << '\n';

    c = L'\u0082'; // break permitted
    std::cout << "iswprint('" << c << "') = "
              << (bool)std::iswprint(c) << '\n';
}

Output:

in Unicode locale,
iswprint('0x2002') = true
iswprint('0x82') = false
