Last Updated : 11 Jul, 2025

In C#,

is a

struct method which is used to check whether a Unicode character is a valid symbol defined under

,

,

, or

or not. This method can be overloaded by passing different types and number of arguments to it.

This method is used to check whether a specified Unicode character matches with any valid symbol in UnicodeCategory or not. If it matches then it returns True otherwise return False.

public static bool IsSymbol(char ch);

ch: It is required unicode character of System.char type which is to be checked for a valid symbol.

The method returns True if the specified Unicode character is a valid symbol, otherwise returns False. The return type of this method is

// C# program to illustrate the
// Char.IsSymbol(Char) Method
using System;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    static public void Main()
    {

        // Declaration of data type
        bool result;

        // checking if plus sign
        // is symbol or not
        char ch1 = '+';

        result = Char.IsSymbol(ch1);
        Console.WriteLine(result);

        // checking if dollar sign
        // is symbol or not
        char ch2 = '$';

        result = Char.IsSymbol(ch2);
        Console.WriteLine(result);

        // checking if @
        // is symbol or not
        char ch3 = '@';

        result = Char.IsSymbol(ch3);
        Console.WriteLine(result);
    }
}

This method is used to check whether a character in the specified string at the specified position is a valid symbol or not. If it is a symbol according to the Unicode standard then it returns True otherwise returns False.

public static bool IsSymbol(string str, int index);

Str: It is the required string of System.Stringtype whose character is to be checked. index: It is the position of character in specified string. Type of this parameter is System.Int32.

The method returns True if the character at specified index in the specified string is a valid symbol according to the Unicode standard, otherwise returns False. The return type of this method is

// C# program to illustrate the
// Char.IsSymbol(String, Int32) Method
using System;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    static public void Main()
    {

        // Declaration of data type
        bool result;

        // checking for symbol in
        // a string
        string str1 = "www.GeeksforGeeks.org";
        result = Char.IsSymbol(str1, 3);
        Console.WriteLine(result);

        // checking for symbol in
        // a string
        string str2 = "geeks+";
        result = Char.IsSymbol(str2, 5);
        Console.WriteLine(result);
    }
