Hi it's been a while, new job new challenge and getting stuck into Qt goodness for a living.

I am having some trouble with a QString that is filled with a JSON structure, in amongst that there are some french words and the accented characters in those words are being replaced with encoding looking like /00e8. I have tried the obvious using toUtf8 even converting the QString into a const char* and trying to use QString::fromUtf8, but still qDebug prints the encoded character in unicode form.

Am I doing doing something fundamentally wrong here?

Thanks

H
