    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.
