In C++ there is a way to cast a char to int and get the ascii value in return. Is there such a way to do the same with a qchar? Since unicode supports so many characters and some of them are actually looking alike, it is sometimes hard to tell what one is dealing with. An explicit code point or a number that can be used to get such would be very helpful.
I searched a the web and this site for a solution but so far no luck, Qt documentation isn't much of help either, unless I'm overlooking something.
Thank you in advance!
EDIT:
Maybe I wasn't clear enough on the matter, sorry.
Here's some code:
char chChar = 'a';
cout << (int)chChar; // will output 97, not 'a'
Also, Qt allows this:
QChar ch = 'a';
if(ch == 0x61)
//...
As far as I can tell, there has to be some information relating to the unicode codepoint in the ch object. Any possibility to get it out of there?
Took some time but I found the answer: QChar
has a member named QChar::unicode
which returns a ushort
with its code point. Just for the record.
