Как перечислить локализованный алфавит в C#?

во-первых, позвольте мне сказать, что я согласен с тем, что все остальные говорят. Вы бы рассмотрели характер é быть действительным американским английским символом? Он используется довольно часто, но не в обычном "a-z".

тем не менее, вот какой-то код (VB2010). Этот код вызывает неуправляемую функцию GetLocaleInfoW и просит LOCALESIGNATURE структура, которая содержит диапазоны кодовых точек Unicode. Эта информация используется для определения диапазонов, необходимых для данного шрифт.

на Char структура не поддерживает все кодовые точки Unicode, поэтому функция возвращает Strings вместо этого. Ищите "суррогатная пара " в нижней части этой ссылки для получения дополнительной информации.

этот код не делает все, что вы хотите, к сожалению. Например, часто цитируемый финский язык не имеет буквы W но в Windows символ существует в допустимом диапазоне кодовых точек. Я не знаю, как приступить к мельчайшие на что.
