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).
