 .Fn isalnum
 function returns zero if the character tests false and
 returns non-zero if the character tests true.
+.Sh COMPATIBILITY
+Although
+.Fn isalnum
+accepts arguments outside of the range of the
+.Vt "unsigned char"
+type in locales with large character sets,
+this is a
+.Bx 4.4
+extension and the
+.Fn iswalnum
+function should be used instead for maximum portability.
