✨ NAME ✨

QSjisCodec — conversion to and from Shift-JIS 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

real talk: all the functions in this class are reentrant when Qt is built with thread support. periodt.

#include <qsjiscodec.h>

she inherits QTextCodec 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so the QSjisCodec class provides conversion to and from Shift-JIS. that's the vibe.

more precisely (and she IS precise, okay), QSjisCodec subclasses QTextCodec to provide support for Shift-JIS, which is an encoding of JIS X 0201 Latin, JIS X 0201 Kana or JIS X 0208. three for the price of one, we love a multitasker 🫶

the environment variable UNICODEMAP_JP can be used to fine-tune QJisCodec, QSjisCodec and QEucJpCodec. and no, i'm not gatekeeping — the QJisCodec documentation describes how to use this variable. go read it, iykyk ✨

🧚 MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION 🧚

QSjisCodec::~QSjisCodec ()

destroys the Shift-JIS codec. 💀 rip, she did her job, we thank her for her service.

const char * QSjisCodec::mimeName () const [virtual]
