# std::isprint(std::locale)

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | 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 std::ctype facet.

### Parameters

ch | - | character
loc | - | locale

### Return value

Returns true if the character is classified as printable, false otherwise.

### Possible implementation

    template< class CharT >
    bool isprint( CharT ch, const std::locale& loc ) {
        return std::use_facet<std::ctype<CharT>>(loc).is(std::ctype_base::print, ch);
    }

### 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';
    }

Possible output:

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