How to cast a QChar to int
casting, codepoint, int, qchar, qt
Solution
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.
Problem
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?
