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 ?
