Function std.encoding.canEncode

Returns true iff it is possible to represent the specified codepoint in the encoding.

bool canEncode(E) (
  dchar c
);

The type of encoding cannot be deduced. Therefore, it is necessary to explicitly specify the encoding type.

Standards

Unicode 5.0, ASCII, ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-2, WINDOWS-1250, WINDOWS-1251, WINDOWS-1252

Example

assert( canEncode!(Latin1Char)('A'));
assert( canEncode!(Latin2Char)('A'));
assert(!canEncode!(AsciiChar)('\u00A0'));
assert( canEncode!(Latin1Char)('\u00A0'));
assert( canEncode!(Latin2Char)('\u00A0'));
assert( canEncode!(Windows1250Char)('\u20AC'));
assert(!canEncode!(Windows1250Char)('\u20AD'));
assert(!canEncode!(Windows1250Char)('\uFFFD'));
assert( canEncode!(Windows1251Char)('\u0402'));
assert(!canEncode!(Windows1251Char)('\u20AD'));
assert(!canEncode!(Windows1251Char)('\uFFFD'));
assert( canEncode!(Windows1252Char)('\u20AC'));
assert(!canEncode!(Windows1252Char)('\u20AD'));
assert(!canEncode!(Windows1252Char)('\uFFFD'));
assert(!canEncode!(char)(cast(dchar) 0x110000));
