# isSymbol

A Boolean value indicating whether this character represents a symbol.

## Declaration

```swift
var isSymbol: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion This property is true only for characters composed of scalars in the “Math_Symbol”, “Currency_Symbol”, “Modifier_Symbol”, or “Other_Symbol” categories in the Unicode Standard. For example, the following characters all represent symbols: “®” (U+00AE REGISTERED SIGN) “⌹” (U+2339 APL FUNCTIONAL SYMBOL QUAD DIVIDE) “⡆” (U+2846 BRAILLE PATTERN DOTS-237)
