💖 QGbkCodec — the GBK glow-up page 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to QGbkCodec(3qt), your friendly neighborhood conversion bestie for the Chinese GBK encoding. she's giving legacy icon energy and we're gonna go through her whole thing together, no skips, no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

QGbkCodec — conversion to and from the Chinese GBK encoding. that's it, that's the whole job. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

so real talk, every single function in this class is reentrant when Qt is built with thread support. yes bestie, thread-safe, we love to see it. 🧵✨

#include <qgb18030codec.h>

and she Inherits QGb18030Codec. family tree matters, periodt. 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The QGbkCodec class provides conversion to and from the Chinese GBK encoding. that's her whole main character arc. 🌈

GBK — formally the Chinese Internal Code Specification — is a commonly used extension of GB 2312-80. Microsoft Windows runs it under the name code page 936, iykyk. 🪟

here's the tea tho: the GBK encoding has been superceded by the GB18030 encoding, and GB18030 is backward compatible to GBK. so because of that, the QGbkCodec class is implemented in terms of the GB18030 codec and uses its 1-byte and 2-byte portion for conversion from and to Unicode. it's literally reusing her sister's closet. 🫶

so why does QGbkCodec still exist? The QGbkCodec is kept mainly for compatibility reasons with older software. she's vintage, not obsolete. 💜
