How to check if character is a letter in Javascript?

Question

I am extracting a character in a Javascript string with:

var first = str.charAt(0);

and I would like to check whether it is a letter. Stran

Answer 1

I made a function to do this:

var isLetter = function (character) {
  if( (character.charCodeAt() >= 65 && character.charCodeAt() <= 90) || (character.charCodeAt() >= 97 && character.charCodeAt() <= 122) ) {
    return true;
  }
  else{
    return false;
  }
}

This basically verifies in the ASCII table if the code of the character refers to a Letter.

You can see the ASCII table on this link and compare columns DEC (where is the code) and symbol: https://www.ascii-code.com/

Note: My function is true only to "simple" letters (things like "Á", "é", "ç", "Ü" it will return false... but if you needed you can adapt this function to de other conditions).
