Example

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

Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <locale>
int main()
{
    const wchar_t c = L'\u03c0'; // greek small letter pi
 
    std::locale loc1("C");
    std::cout << "islower('π​', C locale) returned "
               << std::boolalpha << std::islower(c, loc1) << '\n';
 
    std::locale loc2("en_US.UTF8");
    std::cout << "islower('π​', Unicode locale) returned "
              << std::boolalpha << std::islower(c, loc2) << '\n';
}

Output:
