These utilities also assume that the character being tested is part of the national standard character set. Each utility returns true if the character meets the test requirement referenced in the description.

The arguments for the functions in the following table must be characters in wide character code (WC), wchar_t. For more information, see Asian-Specific Utilities and the hctype(3x) man page.
