No, under the absolute-integral convention. Direct integration givesOn a fixed positive-length portion of every period, the numerator is bounded below. Summing the resulting lower bounds gives a divergent harmonic series, so the Fourier transform is not in . Also there is no continuous almost-everywhere representative: continuity would force it to be on and on , giving incompatible limits at . Symmetrically truncated conditional inversion does hold at interior continuity points and gives half the jump value at the endpoints; this does not contradict the answer.
