[edit] Example

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

#include <iostream>
#include <locale>
int main()
{
    const wchar_t c = L'\u2135'; // mathematical symbol aleph
 
    std::locale loc1("C");
    std::cout << "isalnum('ℵ', C locale) returned "
               << std::boolalpha << std::isalnum(c, loc1) << '\n';
 
    std::locale loc2("en_US.UTF-8");
    std::cout << "isalnum('ℵ', Unicode locale) returned "
              << std::boolalpha << std::isalnum(c, loc2) << '\n';
}

Output:

isalpha('ℵ​', C locale) returned false
isalpha('ℵ', Unicode locale) returned true
