[SOLVED] How to display Japanese character with Qt5.3 on a Japanese machine

pyl0420

Hi:

Our product shows lots of garbage characters with Qt5 on a Japanese machine :( I guess the reason is the removal of setCodecForCStrings and Qt now expects the source code to use UTF8.

I saw some posts suggested to save the file to Unicode, unfortunately it is impossible for us to do it. Besides, we are still passing the strings around as char* or std::string >.< Any suggestion of other workarounds?

Thanks,

One workaround is to use manually pass your C strings through a "QTextCodec":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qtextcodec.html to convert them to Unicode

Thanks JKSH, the QTextCodec::toUnicode works fine.

Technically it may be possible, but we are so close to the deadline, trying to find a easy way out here XD
