13.1.4.2 Alphabetic Characters

The alphabetic[1] characters are a subset of the graphic characters. Of the standard characters, only these are the alphabetic[1] characters:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z

Any implementation-defined character that has case must be alphabetic[1]. For each implementation-defined graphic character that has no case, it is implementation-defined whether that character is alphabetic[1].
