'Declaration
Public Shared Function IsSeparator ( _
	c As Char _
) As Boolean

c

A Unicode character.

The Unicode standard recognizes three subcategories of separators:

NoteNote:

The Unicode standard classifies the characters \u000A (LF), \u000C (FF), and \u000A (CR) as control characters (members of the UnicodeCategory.Control category), not as separator characters.

The following example lists the Char objects that are classified as separator characters.


Module Example
   Public Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
      For ctr As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(Char.MinValue) To Convert.ToInt32(Char.MaxValue)
         Dim ch As Char = ChrW(ctr)
         If Char.IsSeparator(ch) Then
            outputBlock.Text += String.Format("\u{0:X4} ({1})", AscW(ch), Char.GetUnicodeCategory(ch).ToString()) & vbCrLf
         End If
      Next
   End Sub
End Module
