SDL_EnableUNICODE(3)						 SDL API Reference					      SDL_EnableUNICODE(3)

NAME
       SDL_EnableUNICODE - Enable UNICODE translation

SYNOPSIS
       #include "SDL.h"

       int SDL_EnableUNICODE(int enable);

DESCRIPTION
       Enables/Disables Unicode keyboard translation.

       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 unicode member of the SDL_keysym structure will then contain the corresponding character code, or zero for keysyms that do
       not correspond to any character code.

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

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

RETURN VALUE
       Returns the previous translation mode (0 or 1).
