Regarding a problem with getting the text in Japanese for QLineEdit
Message 1 in thread
Hi All,
I have a small problem here about getting the text in Japanese for QLineEdit with the help of text() function.
In the below code , I am setting the text for QLineEdit in japanese (line number:3) and in the next line, I am trying to retrieve the Japanese text in a QString (line number :4 ) but it is showing some junk characters like "????" while printing the label (line number: 5 ) .so how to get the text in Japanese?
...
1. QLineEdit lineEdit;
2 .QString label;
3. lineEdit.setText(QApplication::translate(" ","Japanese text",0,QApplication::UnicodeUTF8)); //setting the text for lineEdit in Japanese which is working fine
4. label = lineEdit.text(); //getting the text of lineEdit in Japanese which is not working
5. qDebug("print label %s",label.toLatin1().data()); //printing junk characters like ?????
..
Regards
Naveen

Latin-1 only encodes characters found in western European languages. Japanese
cannot be represented in this encoding. You probably want to use
QString::toLocal8Bit() (or QString::toUtf8()) instead.

Japanese characters are not a subset of Latin1 characters I guess..
therefore it is defined behaviour....
