QString::fromUtf8 problems converting micro sign

[ChrisW67]

The Unicode code point for the "Micro sign" is \u00b5. In UTF-8 encoding this is a two byte sequence \xc2\xb5. You could also use Greek small letter mu \u03bc.

Any of these:

QString s(QChar(0x00b5));
QString s = QString::fromStdWString(L"\u00b5");
QString s = QString::fromUtf8("\xc2\xb5");

QString s(QChar(0x00b5));
QString s = QString::fromStdWString(L"\u00b5");
QString s = QString::fromUtf8("\xc2\xb5");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

This works for me but I am not sure if it is by-design or by-accident:

QString s = QString::fromUtf8("\u00b5");

QString s = QString::fromUtf8("\u00b5");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Look up Unicode code points here: http://www.unicode.org/charts
