std::iswalpha(3)	      C++ Standard Libary	      std::iswalpha(3)

NAME
       std::iswalpha - std::iswalpha

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

	  Checks  if the given wide character is an alphabetic character, i.e.
       either an
	  uppercase letter (ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ), a lowercase letter
	  (abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz) or any alphabetic 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 an alphabetic character, 0
       otherwise.

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

Example
       // Run this code

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

	int main()
	{
	    wchar_t c =	L'\u0b83'; // Tamil sign Visarga ('')

	    std::cout << std::hex << std::showbase << std::boolalpha;
	    std::cout  << "in the default locale, iswalpha(" <<	(std::wint_t)c
       << ") = "
		      << (bool)std::iswalpha(c)	<< '\n';

	    std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.utf8");
	    std::cout << "in Unicode locale, iswalpha("	<<  (std::wint_t)c  <<
       ") = "
		      << (bool)std::iswalpha(c)	<< '\n';
	}

Possible output:
	in the default locale, iswalpha(0xb83) = false
	in Unicode locale, iswalpha(0xb83) = true
