int toascii(int c);Yes.
Locale Sensitive: The behavior of this function might be affected by the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale. This function is not available when LOCALETYPE(*CLD) is specified on the compilation command. For more information, see Understanding CCSIDs and Locales.
Description
The toascii() function determines to what character c would be mapped to in a 7–bit US-ASCII locale and returns the corresponding character encoding in the current locale.
Return Value
The toascii() function maps the character c according to a 7–bit US-ASCII locale and returns the corresponding character encoding in the current locale.
Example that uses toascii()
This example prints encodings of the 7–bit US-ASCII characters 0x7c to 0x82 are mapped to by toascii().
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
void main(void)
{
int ch;
for (ch=0x7c; ch<=0x82; ch++) {
printf("toascii(%#04x) = %c\n", ch, toascii(ch));
}
}
