Find out if two string inputs are anagram, ignoring white spaces, punctuation, and numbers

I am trying to find out if two string inputs are an anagram. The program has to ignore white spaces, punctuation, and numbers.

I have a function that validates each character in the input stream. When I run the program, it puts two white spaces after I input the first string. It also gives the wrong output.

#include <iostream>
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
#include <string>
#define No_of_chars 26

using namespace std;
const int SIZE = 26;
int count1[No_of_chars]={0};
               
// finds the strings are anagram
bool areAnagram(string str1, string str2)
{
    // Get lengths of both strings
    int n1 = str1.length();
    int n2 = str2.length();

    // If length of both strings is not same, then they cannot be anagram
    if (n1 != n2)
        return false;

    // Sort both the strings
    sort(str1.begin(), str1.end());
    sort(str2.begin(), str2.end());

    // Compare sorted strings
    for (int i = 0; i < n1; i++)
        if (str1[i] != str2[i])
            return false;
}

// validate each character in the input string
void validateCharacter(string sentence)
{
    char ch;
    int count = 0;

    cin.get(ch);
    while(ch >= ' ' && count < SIZE)
    {
        if (isalpha(ch))
        {
            cin.ignore();
        }

        sentence=ch;

        count++;
        cin.get(ch);
    }
}

int main()
{
    string s1;
    string s2;
    cout<< "Csci Anagram Strings Program"<<endl;

    cout << "enter something ->";
    validateCharacter(s1);

    cout << "enter something ->";
    validateCharacter(s2);

    if(areAnagram(s1, s2))
        cout << "The two strings are anagram of each other";
    else
        cout << "The two strings are not anagram of each other";

    return 0;
}

Getting wrong output:

Csci Anagram Strings Program                                                                                                                           
enter something ->kkk                                                                                                                                  
enter something ->kkk   
The two strings are not anagram of each other

You're missing a return true; at the end of your areAnagram function.
