    Default Unicode character 0x1F512 in QChar?

    Hi, is it possible to use Unicode characters that are larger than 0xFFFF (=16bit) as a QChar? I tried this
    QChar (0x0001F512)
    and Windows 7 with Qt 4.7 only shows an empty rectangle. I also checked the Windows Character Map, but those tables always end with 0xFFFF as last character for a font. So I'm not sure if QChar is the limiting factor or if my Windows or its default font is not capable of showing this at all.

    Not sure about QChar, but maybe with QString::fromUcs4()?

    Thanks, but the same result: just an empty square (under Windows. I'll check Linux the next time I boot it).

    It could either be an string content problem or a font problem.

    If you can find the UTF-8 sequence of bytes for that character you could convert the string to UTF-8 and check if you have that sequence.
    If you do then the string itself is correct but the font is missing the character.

    Cheers,

    I tried QString::fromUcs4() on my openSUSE and I got a nice lock So it is a Windows-only problem, maybe caused by the font that does not contain this lock glyph.
    Using QChar (0x0001F512) created the same empty rectangle as it did on Windows.
