QTableWidget Headers don't hangle accentuated characters

[tuthmosis]

The following will generate a header containing "Ä©" instead of "é"

item->setText("é");
ui->tableWidget->setHorizontalHeaderItem( i++, item);

item->setText("é");
ui->tableWidget->setHorizontalHeaderItem( i++, item);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

What am i doing wrong ?

Anyone ?
QTableWidget really don't support UTF8/Unicode ?

You have to set utf8 as the default for decoding literal strings to QString with

QTextCodec::setCodecForCStrings(QTextCodec::codecForName("utf8"));

QTextCodec::setCodecForCStrings(QTextCodec::codecForName("utf8"));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

preferably before you create any widget.
