Hi,
I have a Qt application that I wrote using KDevelop. My Fedora Core 3
language is set to UTF-8:
[svk@smaointe irishprepositions]$ echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8
In my program, I have a table of Irish prepositions that I entered
using dead keys:
u + ' = ú for example
const QString ppTable[15][7] = {
{ "agam", "agat", "aige", "aici", "againn", "agaibh", "acu" },
{ "orm", "ort", "air", "uirthi", "orainn", "oraibh", "orthu" },
{ "asam", "asat", "as", "aisti", "asainn", "asaibh", "astu" },
{ "chugam", "chugat", "chuici", "chugainn", "chugaibh", "chucu" },
{ "díom", "díot", "de", "di", "dínn", "díbh", "díobh" },
{ "dom", "duit", "dó", "di", "dúinn", "daoibh", "dóibh" },
... etc
When I run the program, I noticed that my accented characters no
longer match what I entered in the code:
For example: Instead of seeing "dúinn" displayed in my QtLineEdit
widget I see "dúinn". I display the text using the member function
setText:
lineBox->setText(ppTable[prepBox->currentItem()][pronounBox->currentItem()]);
Any help on resolving my problem with UTF-8 would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sean

QString assumes latin1 as encoding if you create a QString implictly.
Use QString::fromLocal8Bit or QString::fromUtf8 to create the String
for setText. Or store QStrings in your array.
