[Android.Runtime.Register("isUnicodeIdentifierStart", "(C)Z", "")]
public static bool IsUnicodeIdentifierStart (char ch);
[<Android.Runtime.Register("isUnicodeIdentifierStart", "(C)Z", "")>]
static member IsUnicodeIdentifierStart : char -> bool

Parameters

ch
Char

the character to be tested.

Returns

true if the character may start a Unicode identifier; false otherwise.

Attributes

Remarks

Determines if the specified character is permissible as the first character in a Unicode identifier.

A character may start a Unicode identifier if and only if one of the following conditions is true: <ul> <li> #isLetter(char) isLetter(ch) returns true<li> #getType(char) getType(ch) returns LETTER_NUMBER. <li> it is an Other_ID_Starthttp://www.unicode.org/reports/tr44/#Other_ID_Start character. </ul>

This method conforms to UAX31-R1: Default Identifiers requirement of the Unicode Standard, with the following profile of UAX31:

Start := ID_Start + 'VERTICAL TILDE' (U+2E2F)

'VERTICAL TILDE' is added to Start for backward compatibility.

<b>Note:</b> This method cannot handle supplementary characters. To support all Unicode characters, including supplementary characters, use the #isUnicodeIdentifierStart(int) method.
