std::isprint(std::locale)

Defined in header <locale>
template< class charT > bool isprint( charT ch, const locale& loc );

Checks if the given character classified as a printable character (including space) by the given locale's Template:cpp facet.

Parameters

ch	-	character
loc	-	locale

Example

Demonstrates the use of isprint() with different locales (OS-specific).

Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <locale>
int main()
{
    const wchar_t c = L'\u2122'; // trademark sign
 
    std::locale loc1("C");
    std::cout << "isprint('™', C locale) returned "
               << std::boolalpha << std::isprint(c, loc1) << '\n';
 
    std::locale loc2("en_US.UTF-8");
    std::cout << "isprint('™', Unicode locale) returned "
              << std::boolalpha << std::isprint(c, loc2) << '\n';
}

Output:

isprint('™', C locale) returned false
isprint('™', Unicode locale) returned true
