Problem with utf8

when I copy a QString with spanish words then I get difficulties with some letters:

As example, french is ok.
input: Il aura bientôt réglé ce poste.
output: Il aura bientôt réglé ce poste.

but spanish, not.
input: Su anulación llegó demasiado tarde.
output: Su anulaci�n lleg� demasiado tarde.

the code that I use is:

QStringList word = oneLine.split('#');

for (int i = 1; i < word.size(); ++i)
{
temp =word.at(i);
if(!temp.isEmpty())
output += temp+ '\n';
}

How I can copy the words correctly?
My os is kubuntu 18.04 and Qt 5.11, standard utf8
Thanks

1. What is oneLine ? How it is filled ?
2. What is temp and output ?

Show real code.

I include the cpp-file.

sp24.txt

#1 La impresión es hermosa. #2 Antes de empezar la impresión envÃ*en nos una prueba. #3 Adjunto le enviamos un artÃ*culo que seguramente le interesará.
#Su anulación llegó demasiado tarde.
#1 Me ha pagado sólo una pequeña parte a cuenta de su factura. #2 Pronto habrá terminado.

OK. And where is the problem : in showText or in out file ?
What is the code page of the sp24.txt file ?

The error is in both showText and outfile.
According to kubuntu the sp24.txt is utf8 coded.
It seems that QtCreator refuses to open the textfile when it is saved in different code.

Try to add this line :

Code:

---

inTxt.setCodec("UTF-8");

---

before readAll().
From QTextStream doc : By default, QTextCodec::codecForLocale() is used.

And please use [CODE] tag for code.

remains the same.

I found the error.
The text was written with kwrite, it seems that it is not reliable.
I copied the text with kate and the problems disappeared.
thanks
