Getting superscript of arbitrary number to use in a QString

[Durkin]

Thanks. I wrote a small function myself then, that returns a QString with the superscripts 0-9. Though this is in the code -does qt have a way of converting any of the representations found here to the corresponding character?

Anyhow, Arial seems to render them all fine for now.

Yes. Qt can convert from several of those encodings...

#include <QtGui>
 
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
 
    // UTF-8
    const char s[] = {
        0x78,               // Lower case X 
        0xE2, 0x81, 0xB0,   // superscript zero
        0xC2, 0xB9,         // superscript one
        0xC2, 0xB2,         // superscript two 
        0xE2, 0x82, 0x83,   // subscript three
        0xE2, 0x82, 0x84,   // subscript four
        0x00                // NUL terminator
    };
    QString str = QString::fromUtf8(s);
 
    // UTF-16, BOM then same characters as above
    const ushort s16[] = {
        0xFEFF,     // byte order mark
        0x0078,
        0x2070,
        0x00B9,
        0x00B2,
        0x2083,
        0x2084,
        0x0
    };
    QString str16 = QString::fromUtf16(s16);
 
    // str == str16 is true
 
    QFont font("Arial", 36);
    QLabel l(str16);
    l.setFont(font);
    l.show();
 
    return app.exec();
}

    l.show();

    return app.exec();
}

You will probably see that the rendering of the superscript 1, 2 and 3 (U+00Bx) are different from 0 and 4-9 (U+207x).
