11
<p>In Qt, Unicode characters are 16-bit entities without any markup or structure. This class represents such an entity. It is lightweight, so it can be used everywhere. Most compilers treat it like a <tt>unsigned short</tt>.</p>
12
<p>QChar provides a full complement of testing/classification functions, converting to and from other formats, converting from composed to decomposed Unicode, and trying to compare and case-convert if you ask it to.</p>
13
<p>The classification functions include functions like those in the standard C++ header <cctype> (formerly <ctype.h>), but operating on the full range of Unicode characters. They all return true if the character is a certain type of character; otherwise they return false. These classification functions are <a href="qchar.html#isNull">isNull</a>() (returns true if the character is '\0'), <a href="qchar.html#isPrint">isPrint</a>() (true if the character is any sort of printable character, including whitespace), <a href="qchar.html#isPunct">isPunct</a>() (any sort of punctation), <a href="qchar.html#isMark">isMark</a>() (Unicode Mark), <a href="qchar.html#isLetter">isLetter</a>() (a letter), <a href="qchar.html#isNumber">isNumber</a>() (any sort of numeric character, not just 0-9), <a href="qchar.html#isLetterOrNumber">isLetterOrNumber</a>(), and <a href="qchar.html#isDigit">isDigit</a>() (decimal digits). All of these are wrappers around <a href="qchar.html#category">category</a>() which return the Unicode-defined category of each character.</p>
14
<p>QChar also provides <a href="qchar.html#direction">direction</a>(), which indicates the "natural" writing direction of this character. The <a href="qchar.html#joining">joining</a>() function indicates how the character joins with its neighbors (needed mostly for Arabic) and finally <a href="qchar.html#hasMirrored">hasMirrored</a>(), which indicates whether the character needs to be mirrored when it is printed in its "unnatural" writing direction.</p>
15
<p>Composed Unicode characters (like å) can be converted to decomposed Unicode ("a" followed by "ring above") by using <a href="qchar.html#decomposition">decomposition</a>().</p>
16
<p>In Unicode, comparison is not necessarily possible and case conversion is very difficult at best. Unicode, covering the "entire" world, also includes most of the world's case and sorting problems. operator==() and friends will do comparison based purely on the numeric Unicode value (code point) of the characters, and <a href="qchar.html#toUpper">toUpper</a>() and <a href="qchar.html#toLower">toLower</a>() will do case changes when the character has a well-defined uppercase/lowercase equivalent. For locale-dependent comparisons, use <a href="qstring.html#localeAwareCompare">QString.localeAwareCompare</a>().</p>
17
<p>The conversion functions include <a href="qchar.html#unicode">unicode</a>() (to a scalar), <a href="qchar.html#toLatin1">toLatin1</a>() (to scalar, but converts all non-Latin-1 characters to 0), <a href="qchar.html#row">row</a>() (gives the Unicode row), <a href="qchar.html#cell">cell</a>() (gives the Unicode cell), <a href="qchar.html#digitValue">digitValue</a>() (gives the integer value of any of the numerous digit characters), and a host of constructors.</p>
18
<p>QChar provides constructors and cast operators that make it easy to convert to and from traditional 8-bit <tt>char</tt>s. If you defined <tt>QT_NO_CAST_FROM_ASCII</tt> and <tt>QT_NO_CAST_TO_ASCII</tt>, as explained in the <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> documentation, you will need to explicitly call <a href="qchar.html#fromAscii">fromAscii</a>() or <a href="qchar.html#fromLatin1">fromLatin1</a>(), or use <a href="qlatin1char.html">QLatin1Char</a>, to construct a QChar from an 8-bit <tt>char</tt>, and you will need to call <a href="qchar.html#toAscii">toAscii</a>() or <a href="qchar.html#toLatin1">toLatin1</a>() to get the 8-bit value back.</p>

composed to decomposed Unicode, and trying to compare and
19
case-convert if you ask it to.</p>
20
<p>The classification functions include functions like those in the
21
standard C++ header <cctype> (formerly <ctype.h>), but
22
operating on the full range of Unicode characters. They all return
23
true if the character is a certain type of character; otherwise
24
they return false. These classification functions are <a href="qchar.html#isNull">isNull</a>() (returns true if the character is
25
'\0'), <a href="qchar.html#isPrint">isPrint</a>() (true if the
26
character is any sort of printable character, including
27
whitespace), <a href="qchar.html#isPunct">isPunct</a>() (any sort
28
of punctation), <a href="qchar.html#isMark">isMark</a>() (Unicode
29
Mark), <a href="qchar.html#isLetter">isLetter</a>() (a letter),
30
<a href="qchar.html#isNumber">isNumber</a>() (any sort of numeric
31
character, not just 0-9), <a href="qchar.html#isLetterOrNumber">isLetterOrNumber</a>(), and <a href="qchar.html#isDigit">isDigit</a>() (decimal digits). All of these
32
are wrappers around <a href="qchar.html#category">category</a>()
33
which return the Unicode-defined category of each character.</p>
34
<p>QChar also provides <a href="qchar.html#direction">direction</a>(), which indicates the
35
"natural" writing direction of this character. The <a href="qchar.html#joining">joining</a>() function indicates how the
36
character joins with its neighbors (needed mostly for Arabic) and
37
finally <a href="qchar.html#hasMirrored">hasMirrored</a>(), which
38
indicates whether the character needs to be mirrored when it is
39
printed in its "unnatural" writing direction.</p>
40
<p>Composed Unicode characters (like å) can be converted to
41
decomposed Unicode ("a" followed by "ring above") by using <a href="qchar.html#decomposition">decomposition</a>().</p>
42
<p>In Unicode, comparison is not necessarily possible and case
43
conversion is very difficult at best. Unicode, covering the
44
"entire" world, also includes most of the world's case and sorting
45
problems. operator==() and friends will do comparison based purely
46
on the numeric Unicode value (code point) of the characters, and
47
<a href="qchar.html#toUpper">toUpper</a>() and <a href="qchar.html#toLower">toLower</a>() will do case changes when the
48
character has a well-defined uppercase/lowercase equivalent. For
49
locale-dependent comparisons, use <a href="qstring.html#localeAwareCompare">QString.localeAwareCompare</a>().</p>
50
<p>The conversion functions include <a href="qchar.html#unicode">unicode</a>() (to a scalar), <a href="qchar.html#toLatin1">toLatin1</a>() (to scalar, but converts all
51
non-Latin-1 characters to 0), <a href="qchar.html#row">row</a>()
52
(gives the Unicode row), <a href="qchar.html#cell">cell</a>()
53
(gives the Unicode cell), <a href="qchar.html#digitValue">digitValue</a>() (gives the integer value
54
of any of the numerous digit characters), and a host of
56
<p>QChar provides constructors and cast operators that make it easy
57
to convert to and from traditional 8-bit <tt>char</tt>s. If you
58
defined <tt>QT_NO_CAST_FROM_ASCII</tt> and
59
<tt>QT_NO_CAST_TO_ASCII</tt>, as explained in the <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> documentation, you will need to
60
explicitly call <a href="qchar.html#fromAscii">fromAscii</a>() or
61
<a href="qchar.html#fromLatin1">fromLatin1</a>(), or use <a href="qlatin1char.html">QLatin1Char</a>, to construct a QChar from an
62
8-bit <tt>char</tt>, and you will need to call <a href="qchar.html#toAscii">toAscii</a>() or <a href="qchar.html#toLatin1">toLatin1</a>() to get the 8-bit value
