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).
