- The name TR is inspired from QT' tr() macro.

Qt's tr() stands for "translate" because that thing is the entry point for Qt's localization/message catalog system. In other words, you use tr() only for user-visible string that should get translated. That makes it a poor inspiration for something that is concerned with encoding conversion. Sebastian
