(PHP 7)

IntlChar::isdefined — Check whether the code point is defined

### Description

public static bool IntlChar::isdefined ( mixed `$codepoint` )

Determines whether the specified code point is "defined", which usually means that it is assigned a character.

`TRUE` for general categories other than "Cn" (other, not assigned).

> Note:

> Note that non-character code points (e.g., U+FDD0) are not "defined" (they are Cn), but surrogate code points are "defined" (Cs).

### Parameters

`codepoint`

  The integer 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 a defined character, `FALSE` if not.

### Examples

Example #1 Testing different code points

`<?php
var_dump(IntlChar::isdefined("A"));
var_dump(IntlChar::isdefined(" "));
var_dump(IntlChar::isdefined("\u{FDD0}"));
?>`

The above example will output:

    bool(true)
    bool(true)
    bool(false)
