Example 1

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

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"unicode"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println("unicode.IsGraphic('9'):",
		unicode.IsGraphic('9'))
	fmt.Println("unicode.IsGraphic('0'):",
		unicode.IsGraphic('0'))
	fmt.Println("unicode.IsGraphic('3'):",
		unicode.IsGraphic('3'))
	fmt.Println("unicode.IsGraphic('&'):",
		unicode.IsGraphic('&'))
	fmt.Println("unicode.IsGraphic('☺')",
		unicode.IsGraphic('☺'))
	fmt.Println("unicode.IsGraphic('🙈'):",
		unicode.IsGraphic('🙈'))
	fmt.Println("unicode.IsGraphic('!'):",
		unicode.IsGraphic('!'))
}

Output:

unicode.IsGraphic('9'): true
unicode.IsGraphic('0'): true
unicode.IsGraphic('3'): true
unicode.IsGraphic('&'): true
unicode.IsGraphic('☺') true
unicode.IsGraphic('🙈'): true
unicode.IsGraphic('!'): true

Example 2

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

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"unicode"
)

func main() {
	var r rune
	var result bool

	r = '🙈'
	result = unicode.IsGraphic(r)
	if result == true {
		fmt.Printf("%c is a Graphic by Unicode.\n", r)
	} else {
		fmt.Printf("%c is not a Graphic by Unicode.\n", r)
	}

	r = '\t'
	result = unicode.IsGraphic(r)
	if result == true {
		fmt.Printf("%c is a Graphic by Unicode.\n", r)
	} else {
		fmt.Printf("%c is not a Graphic by Unicode.\n", r)
	}

	r = 'Ɐ'
	result = unicode.IsGraphic(r)
	if result == true {
		fmt.Printf("%c is a Graphic by Unicode.\n", r)
	} else {
