^$Character( charsetexpr , expr1 V "PATCODE" , expr2 V patcode ) = expr3 V algoref
This node identifies the pattern testing algorithm that determines which characters of charsetexpr match the specified patcode; if this node is not defined, or is the empty string, then no characters in the charsetexpr will match that patcode. Let pattest be the value of expr3. The patcode truth-value truth of a character char using a non-empty-string pattern testing algorithm pattest may be evaluated by executing the expression:
("S truth="_pattest_"($ASCII(char))")
When truth is “true”, char belongs to the specified patcode; when truth is “false”, char does not belong to that patcode.
