# kTECTextToUnicodeScanFixBit

## Declaration

```occ
kTECTextToUnicodeScanFixBit = 3
```

## Discussion

Discussion This is set if ConvertFromTextToUnicode is enhanced so mappings can depend on context and saved state. The consequences of this are (1) malformed input results in kTextMalformedInputErr; (2) ConvertFromTextToUnicode accepts the control flags kUnicodeLooseMappingsMask, kUnicodeKeepInfoMask, and kUnicodeStringUnterminatedMask; (3) elimination of redundant direction overrides when converting Mac OS Arabic and Hebrew to Unicode; and (4) improved mapping of 0x30-0x39 digits in Mac OS Arabic when loose mappings are used.
