I think this is effectively the only way to do it, but it suffers from several problems, starting with the fact that you used prior knowledge to decide about the range of legal codepoints. In theory at least, if you're using a Unicode charmap, the character classes are independent of the script (according to Unicode standard, not C locales), but the Unicode "general categories" are not the same as C character classes either. BTW, glibc's i18n ctypes include two more character classes: combining and combining_level3 (viz. iswctype(i, wctype("combining")))
