A character is considered whitespace if either its Unicode category is one of CharCategory.SPACE_SEPARATOR, CharCategory.LINE_SEPARATOR, CharCategory.PARAGRAPH_SEPARATOR, or it is a CharCategory.CONTROL character in range U+0009..U+000D or U+001C..U+001F.

Returns true if the character is whitespace.

// whitespace char codes
println(whitespaces.map(Char::code)) // [32, 9, 10, 160]
// non-whitespace chars
println(notWhitespaces) // [1, a]
