IntlChar::isIDIgnorable
Check if code point is an ignorable character
Description
public static boolnull IntlChar::isIDIgnorable(intstring $codepoint
)
true
for characters with general category "Cf" (format controls) as well as non-whitespace ISO controls (U+0000..U+0008, U+000E..U+001B, U+007F..U+009F).
Note:

Parameters
-
codepoint
-
The int codepoint value (e.g. 0x2603
for U+2603 SNOWMAN), or the character encoded as a UTF-8 string (e.g. "\u{2603}"
)
Return Values
Returns true
if
codepoint
is ignorable in identifiers, false
if not. Returns null
on failure.
Examples
Example #1 Testing different code points
<?php
var_dump(IntlChar::isIDIgnorable("A"));
var_dump(IntlChar::isIDIgnorable(" "));
var_dump(IntlChar::isIDIgnorable("\u{007F}"));
?>
