QXmlStreamWriter UTF-16 Problem

[27Loco]

Heho,

I have a problem with the QXmlStreamWriter class. When using UTF-16 encoding garbage characters will appear in my XML document.

QXmlStreamWriter xml;
    xml.setDevice(&file);
    // here is the problem
    xml.setCodec(QTextCodec::codecForName("utf16"));
    xml.setAutoFormatting(true);
    xml.setAutoFormattingIndent(2);
 
    xml.writeStartDocument();
 
    xml.writeDTD("<!DOCTYPE backup>");
    xml.writeStartElement("Backup");
    xml.writeAttribute("version", "1.0");
 
    xml.writeStartElement("Task");
    xml.writeAttribute("name", "MyName");
    xml.writeTextElement("Description", "My short description");
    xml.writeEndElement(); // Task
 
    xml.writeEndElement(); 
    xml.writeEndDocument();

QXmlStreamWriter xml;
    xml.setDevice(&file);
    // here is the problem
    xml.setCodec(QTextCodec::codecForName("utf16"));
    xml.setAutoFormatting(true);
    xml.setAutoFormattingIndent(2);

    xml.writeStartDocument();

    xml.writeDTD("<!DOCTYPE backup>");
    xml.writeStartElement("Backup");
    xml.writeAttribute("version", "1.0");

    xml.writeStartElement("Task");
    xml.writeAttribute("name", "MyName");
    xml.writeTextElement("Description", "My short description");
    xml.writeEndElement(); // Task

    xml.writeEndElement(); 
    xml.writeEndDocument();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>਍㰀℀䐀伀䌀吀夀倀䔀 戀愀挀欀甀瀀㸀ഀ

Do you have any idea? Thank you very much for your help.
