    Yeah that will work. But remove the <> from around your unicode character. I only placed them their as placeholder. It will work by placing the unicode character in your source file as you have done, but I would recommend finding the value for it instead. I'm replying from my phone so I can't look ot up for you.

    By value, do you mean the Unicode value? Or do you mean the hexidecimal value? I'm confused!

      Sorry, I wasn't too clear. You should use the UCN for example: '\u2639' will represent ☹
      There can be problems with this as compilers are required to support only the basic source characters. I'm not sure if Qt gives you much help in way of UCN's so if it doesn't display the character for you, use the literal '☹' in your source, and perhaps see if someone else can help you with the use of UCN as I'm not so sure without reading up on it. Perhaps also try reading up on character sets to understand encodings.

      Edit:
      I just checked up the code for 👧

        QString str1 = QString::fromUtf8("\U0001F467 Button 1");

        So for Bride:

        QString str1 = QString::fromUtf8("\U0001F470 Button 1");
        -> Set Text = "Bride";

            So would this look right?

            QString str1 = QString::fromUtf8("\U0001F470 Button 1");
            -> Set Text = "Bride";
            Not quite sure how to do the "Set Text" part, so I did the best I could when writing the code. So how would I compile the full version of the radio button? Would it look something like this?
            QRadioButton *button = new QRadioButton ("Bride", this);
            QString str1 = QString::fromUtf8("\U0001F470 Button 1");
            -> Set Text = "Bride";

              I would suggest reading a book to get yourself better acquainted with C++. Otherwise you will encounter many pitfalls.

                Are there any books out there that are available in Braille? Since that's the primary format which I read. If that's not possible, is there a .chm help file that can explain the language in detail?

                  It may be difficult to find such a technical book in Braille. I had a look but came up empty. You can find a copy of "C++ gui programming with qt4 2nd edition" in .chm.

                  https://github.com/sherlock/qt?files=1

                  I think your screen reader should be ok to read epub? If so you could pickup most textbooks from amazon or something.

                    I tried searching for the .chm file "C++ gui programming with qt4 2nd
                    edition" on the link you provided, but it says "No Matching Files Found". Where do I go next?

                        I downloaded the .chm file, but now when I attempt to read any of the topics, it seems there's nothing in them. Is there something wrong with the file?

                            Sorry if I provided a bad link. (Didn't really download to check it).
                            See if your screen reader can read epubs ok. And you can find all you need on amazon. (Alternate outlets are available too.)

                              1. This machine I'm on is Windows XP.
                              2. My screenreader doesn't read PDF's.
                              3. What are EPubs?
                              4. Would I have to pay to find it on Amazon? If so, how much?

                                Then use Jaws to google examples or terms that she doesn't understand?

                                EPUB is an e-book file format with the extension .epub that can be downloaded and read on devices like smartphones, tablets, computers, or e-readers.

                                  Would finding a pdf that would read her all the text from a basic C++ book work?

                                  Then use Jaws to google examples or terms that she doesn't understand?

                                  EPUB is an e-book file format with the extension .epub that can be downloaded and read on devices like smartphones, tablets, computers, or e-readers.

                                  Which book of Basic C++ are you thinking of? PDF's in general don't work with my screenreader. .chm's, .txt's, and .doc's work just fine.

                                    Excuse my jumping in. I am not a Qt professional, but I have been following this thread.

                                    I hope you find success in however you approach programming. Even for a fully-sighted person C++ can be a bit daunting! May I suggest you have a brief look at this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/3274617/489865, from a blind person reporting success with C++. There are also interesting posts in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/118984/how-can-you-program-if-youre-blind

                                      Sorry, I hope that my reply it isn't off topic.
                                      If you have and idea about an application to write and you think that it will be have a business or you already have customers that have asked for it don't worry.
                                      You can design the ui (that it is easy) and you can ask to someone that knows C++ to write the code for you.
                                      In the past I had a customer that did somehing like this.

                                        1. I know how to write some of the code. It's the compiling part that I have trouble with. Also, I want to find a .chm help file that explains more of the codes of the Qt programming language in detail.
                                        2. I haven't even started my company, so I don't have any customers as of this moment.

                                          @Annabelle I can't help you with the chm part, but if you need help compiling I can help you figure out both qmake and cmake. Cmake being my preferred method of building Qt projects.

                                          I build everything command line and rarely use IDEs. That sounds exactly what you're looking for if you are using notepad++ and just need a command line build.
