Example 1:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of unicode.IsPrint() Function

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"unicode"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println("unicode.IsPrint('1'):",
		unicode.IsPrint('1'))
	fmt.Println("unicode.IsPrint('G'):",
		unicode.IsPrint('G'))
	fmt.Println("unicode.IsPrint(' ')",
		unicode.IsPrint(' '))
	fmt.Println("unicode.IsPrint('\\t'):",
		unicode.IsPrint('\t'))
	fmt.Println("unicode.IsPrint('\\n'):",
		unicode.IsPrint('\n'))
	fmt.Println("unicode.IsPrint('ⅻ'):",
		unicode.IsPrint('ⅻ'))
	fmt.Println("unicode.IsPrint('g'):",
		unicode.IsPrint('g'))
}

Output:

unicode.IsPrint('1'): true
unicode.IsPrint('G'): true
unicode.IsPrint(' ') true
unicode.IsPrint('\t'): false
unicode.IsPrint('\n'): false
unicode.IsPrint('ⅻ'): true
unicode.IsPrint('g'): true

Example 2:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of unicode.IsPrint() Function

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"unicode"
)

func main() {
	var r rune
	var result bool

	r = 'Y'
	result = unicode.IsPrint(r)
	if result == true {
		fmt.Printf("%c is a printable character.\n", r)
	} else {
		fmt.Printf("%c is not a printable character.\n", r)
	}

	r = '8'
	result = unicode.IsPrint(r)
	if result == true {
		fmt.Printf("%c is a printable character.\n", r)
	} else {
		fmt.Printf("%c is not a printable character.\n", r)
	}

	r = '\t'
	result = unicode.IsPrint(r)
	if result == true {
		fmt.Printf("%c is a printable character.\n", r)
