    [in] The character to be tested.

Return Values

TRUE indicates that the character is a lead byte.

FALSE indicates that either the character is not a lead byte or an error was generated.

Remarks

Lead bytes are unique to double-byte character sets.

A lead byte introduces a double-byte character.

Lead bytes occupy a specific range of byte values.

The IsDBCSLeadByte function uses the ANSI code page to check lead-byte ranges. To specify a different code page, use the IsDBCSLeadByteEx function.
