[edit] Parameters

ch - wide character

[edit] Return value

Non-zero value if the wide character is a punctuation character, zero otherwise.

[edit] Notes

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

[edit] Example

#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>
#include <wctype.h>
#include <locale.h>
 
int main(void)
{
    wchar_t c = L'\u2051'; // Two asterisks ('⁑')
    printf("in the default locale, iswpunct(%#x) = %d\n", c, !!iswpunct(c));
    setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.utf8");
    printf("in Unicode locale, iswpunct(%#x) = %d\n", c, !!iswpunct(c));
}

Output:

in the default locale, iswpunct(0x2051) = 0
in Unicode locale, iswpunct(0x2051) = 1
