Hi !

My project is set to use UTF-8 encoding in all its files. I have a Label defined in qml. When I set its text property from the QML file, I have no issue with charcters such as "è". But with the same text, hard-coded in C++, the chracter is miswritten.

Any ideas ?

Hello!

Please try 

QString::fromUtf8("your text");

Unfortunately this is not working for DropDown, or I am doing something wrong.

The following works for me:

dropDown->add(Option::create()
	.value(123)
	.text(QString::fromUtf8("put UTF8 text here"))
	.selected(YES));

Could you post a short example of what you're doing with DropDown along with the string you're trying to use?

[klz]

Hey tonygluk and everyone else,

So basically my code is 

ddSecond->add(Option::create().text(QString::fromUtf8("RME_Estado de México")));

 And this is a result http://gyazo.com/1c544a96b29a9174b04962b3cf67bfe1

I'm a bit confused because I tried to use 

QString::fromUtf8("RME_Estado de México")

as a title of my TitleBar and this works perfectly in my case.

My encoding settings (in Qt Creator):

Default encoding: UTF-8
UTF-8 BOM: Keep If Already Present

You could also try to substitute é with \u00e9, i.e.

QString::fromUtf8("RME_Estado de M\u00e9xico")

For title of TitleBar it works properly for me even without convertation fromUtf8.

This one

QString::fromUtf8("RME_Estado de M\u00e9xico")

 Works well, thank you! But another problem is that I'm getting the data dinamicaly from a server. Is there an easy way to replace é with \u00e9?

[Zmey]

If this works then it looks like the .cpp file is not in UTF-8 encoding... Do you set TitleBar's title in the same .cpp file?

If dynamic data is in UTF8 then there's probably no need to replace anything.

Ah, my bad. I set the title directly in QML. Okay, will check encoding. Thanks a lot!
