In Java, I was able to determine if a particular character was for example, a Japanese Kanji using Unicode.blockOf(Character). I'm trying to do the same for a QChar, but couldn't find a relevant function to do this. I'm wondering if I just missed it, or will I have to roll my own, and if so - how?
There is QChar::Category however it does not provide everything you need.
For checking whether a char is in certain range, you could write a function like this:
bool inRange(QChar c, ushort b, ushort e) {
return (c.unicode() >= b) && (c.unicode() <= e);
}
You could then use it like this:
inRange(c, 0x3040, 0x309F); // Hiragana?
Of course you could go further and make it more abstract and enumerate the ranges:
inRange(c, Range::Hiragana);
And here is the list of the Unicode Blocks
