QLineEdit and scandinavian characacters

[teele]

If i set the text "Åååps" or "Äärgh" in a QTextEdit field in my source file, something messy appears when the program is run. The character set is utf-8. For instance,

formulaInput->setText(tr("Ååååh, Synöve"));

where formulaInput is a QLineEdit field.

What is the trick to get the same text shown in the executable as well.

Make sure your file is encoded in utf8 and then use QObject::trUtf8().

Indeed,

formulaInput->setText(trUtf8("Ååååh, Synöve"));

solved it. Thank you, Lykurg!
