Unicode strings int Qt 4.2.1

[mkrentovskiy]

Hi everyone!

I'm editing source code with Eclipse with UTF-8 character set to all files in project. But when I try to wrote Cyrillic characters directly in source code, in execution I got to unpleasant symbols, not what I wrote.

Where I'm was wrong?

Use QTextCodec::setCodecForCStrings to set a codec before using any QStrings.
This can be done in main.cpp, right after instantiating the QApplication object.
Example:

QTextCodec::setCodecForCStrings(QTextCodec::codecForName("ISO-8859-5"));

QTextCodec::setCodecForCStrings(QTextCodec::codecForName("ISO-8859-5"));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

This is just an example to show you how it's done. I am not sure if that is the standard Cyrillic encoding name.

Yes, it's worked. I use "UTF-8" as param. Thank's!!! : )))

still not working for me....I'm trying to add unicode chars and this is the error I get in visual c++


warning C4566: character represented by universal-character-name '\u03C3' cannot be represented in the current code page (1252)

I'm trying to add the chars sigma and mu to the status bar.

any help would be appreciated

thanks,

Jonathan

Use and UTF-8 codec for C strings, as shown above.
Do not give the unicode codes for the two chars.
Instead write the char directly in code:

QString sigma = "σ";

QString sigma = "σ";

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Next, if you set the codec correctly, you can set this string to the status bar.

If you really want to use Unicode codes, than you can try QString::fromUtf16( or one of the other conversion functions )

still getting same here when I'm compiling.....do I need to change the format the document is saved as?

right now it is set to: unicode - codepage 1200

I've also tried unicode (UTF-8 with signature) code page 65001

thanks for your help!

[marcel]

Yes, change the encoding to UTF-8
Are you using Eclipse also?

[JonathanForQT4]

yeah, changed the encoding to utf-8 and using visual c++ 2005 express edition

[marcel]

Well, is it working?

[JonathanForQT4]

no dice so far, and I've tried a bunch of different file formats.....is this a compiler thing maybe?

[marcel]

QChar chr[] = {0X03c3};
    QString xxx = QString::fromRawData(chr, 1);

QChar chr[] = {0X03c3};
    QString xxx = QString::fromRawData(chr, 1);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

EDIT: don't forget to set the unicode codec in main.cpp.

I use Eclipse IDE for C/C++ & QT integration plug-in , but I'm not write Unicode ?
How to resolve ? Thank every body.
Example: I write : "Chà o tất cả các bạn!" but It show in program: "Chà o t?t c? các b?n"
