QTsciiCodec(3qt)

📦 version 3.3.8b, in fedora 43, fedora 44

💖 QTsciiCodec 💖

okay so bestie, we're doing QTsciiCodec(3qt) today — yes that's the whole manual page name, yes it's giving very "section 3 of Qt, codec edition" ✨ pull up a chair 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

QTsciiCodec — conversion to and from the Tamil TSCII encoding 🌸

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

so like, the big important heads-up first:

All the functions in this class are reentrant when Qt is built with
thread support.</p>

(that </p> is literally just vibing there in the original, we don't ask questions 💀)

and then the include, which you need if you wanna play:

#include <qtsciicodec.h>

Inherits QTextCodec. yeah. it's a codec. it inherited the whole codec bloodline 👑

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

The QTsciiCodec class does exactly what it says on the tin: it converts to and from the Tamil TSCII encoding. no cap.

TSCII — which formally stands for the Tamil Standard Code Information Interchange specification — is a commonly used charset for Tamils. The official page for the standard lives at http://www.tamil.net/tscii/ and honestly go look at it, it's right there 🌐

This codec uses the mapping table found at http://www.geocities.com/Athens/5180/tsciiset.html. heads up though — Tamil uses composed Unicode, which might cause some problems if you're using Unicode fonts instead of TSCII fonts. so like, lowkey a vibe check moment for your font choices 😭
