Description
From developer point of view who uses Qt6 its unclear about text en/decoding support in Qt. You can't find proper information how to deal with codepages other than Unicode and Latin-1.
Old QTextCodec was moved Qt5Compat and there is no information about recently added ICU backend to QStringConverter.
https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qstringconverter.html
And icu support hidden behind QStringConverter::Flag::UsesIcu flag? It works automatically or developer should set that flag explicitly? None such information available.
