## Detailed Description

The QTsciiCodec class provides conversion to and from the Tamil TSCII encoding.

TSCII, formally the Tamil Standard Code Information Interchange specification, is a commonly used charset for Tamils. The official page for the standard is at http://www.tamil.net/tscii/

This codec uses the mapping table found at http://www.geocities.com/Athens/5180/tsciiset.html. Tamil uses composed Unicode which might cause some problems if you are using Unicode fonts instead of TSCII fonts.

## Member Function Documentation

### QTsciiCodec::~QTsciiCodec ()

Destroys the text codec object.

### QByteArray QTsciiCodec::convertFromUnicode ( const QChar * uc, int len, ConverterState * state ) const `[virtual]`

Converts the first len characters in uc from Unicode to this encoding, and returns the result in a byte array. The state contains some conversion flags, and is used by the codec to maintain state information.

Reimplemented from QTextCodec.

### QString QTsciiCodec::convertToUnicode ( const char * chars, int len, ConverterState * state ) const `[virtual]`

Converts the first len characters in chars from this encoding to Unicode, and returns the result in a QString. The state contains some conversion flags, and is used by the codec to maintain state information.

Reimplemented from QTextCodec.

### int QTsciiCodec::mibEnum () const `[virtual]`

Returns the MIB enum for the encoding.

Reimplemented from QTextCodec.

See also QTextCodec::mibEnum().

### QByteArray QTsciiCodec::name () const `[virtual]`

Returns the official name for the encoding that is handled by the codec.

Reimplemented from QTextCodec.

See also QTextCodec::name().
