Extended Ascii Codes in QTextEdit

[mulfycrowh]

I tried this:

		QString s;
		s = "test ";
		ushort u = 223;
		s += QString::fromUtf16(&u, 1);
		u = 147;
		s += QString::fromUtf16(&u, 1);
		ui.Test->setText(s);

ß is displayed but not the second one (").
Does it show that extended characters' display in QTextEdit is not possible ?

Firstly, there's no "extended characters", there are different encodings for representing text and Qt uses utf-16. Secondly, showing text in QTextEdit is possible and if the font you're using has a glyph for the character you're trying to display, then the character will be displayed. And finally, have you checked what is corresponding to the number 147 in the first utf-16 table I've posted as a link? I see no corresponding character for that code, so what are you expecting to see exactly? Where do you get 147?

I found this table:

and you get the characters with the matching decimal code

Explanation: I have a file with hex bytes equal to 93, 94, 96 ... and I would like to display the matching characters into a QTextEdit.

I found the solution in adding fromLatin1()

[mulfycrowh]

With fromLatin1(), it's better: I have no more losange with ? but, for example hex codes 93 and 94 are not displayed.

[mulfycrowh]

From Wikipedia, I copy and paste some text.
In this text I have the character (Hex 92) (') and the character (Hex E9) (é).
The second one is displayed. The first one is replaced by a chinese character.
Why ?

[mulfycrowh]

I think having found the perfect solution :)

I copied and pasted many articles from Wikipedia in French, English and German and it runs.
The solution is to use:

FromLocal8Bit()

[kshegunov]

As long as it works for you. I wouldn't depend on the local 8bit encoding myself, but that's just me.

@kshegunov That's the only way to make it perfectly running. Do you have other idea in mind ?
