     3 SDL_EnableUNICODE \- Enable UNICODE translation

     4 .SH "SYNOPSIS"

     5 .PP

     6 \fB#include "SDL\&.h"

     7 .sp

     8 \fBint \fBSDL_EnableUNICODE\fP\fR(\fBint enable\fR);

     9 .SH "DESCRIPTION"

    10 .PP

    11 Enables/Disables Unicode keyboard translation\&.

    12 .PP

    13 To obtain the character codes corresponding to received keyboard events, Unicode translation must first be turned on using this function\&. The translation incurs a slight overhead for each keyboard event and is therefore disabled by default\&. For each subsequently received key down event, the \fBunicode\fR member of the \fI\fBSDL_keysym\fR\fR structure will then contain the corresponding character code, or zero for keysyms that do not correspond to any character code\&.

    14 .PP

    15 A value of 1 for \fBenable\fR enables Unicode translation; 0 disables it, and -1 leaves it unchanged (useful for querying the current translation mode)\&.

    16 .PP

    17 Note that only key press events will be translated, not release events\&.

    18 .SH "RETURN VALUE"

    19 .PP

    20 Returns the previous translation mode (\fB0\fR or \fB1\fR)\&.
