How to determine system encoding in Qt 6?

[theGreatWhiteShark]

Previously, I could use QTextCodec::codecForLocale() to determine the local encoding in an OS-agnostic way. The main use case was to include it in the application log. At least two times this was key to reproduce an user issue concerning file import. But for Qt6 QTextCodec is only available as a Qt5 compatibility feature.

Is there a new, Qt 6 native way to determine the system's local encoding? I couldn't find it in the docs (or other forum posts)

I'd do the following:

const QLocale locale = QLocale::system();
const auto encoding = QStringConverter::encodingForName(locale.name().toUtf8());

Thanks a lot!
