Example: How iswupper() function works?

#include <cwctype>
#include <iostream>
#include <clocale>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.UTF-8");
	
	wchar_t ch1 = L'\u03a0';
	wchar_t ch2 = L'\u03c0';
	
	wcout << L"iswupper(" << ch1 << ") returned " << boolalpha << (bool)iswupper(ch1) << endl;
	wcout << L"iswupper(" << ch2 << ") returned " << boolalpha << (bool)iswupper(ch2) << endl;
	
	return 0;
}

When you run the program, the output will be:

iswupper(Π) returned true
iswupper(π) returned false
