    But it's unbelievable that awful system, why there's no set up option to set up encoding? Now I have to change all files...

        Yes, but in every file, I work with this strings! :D...

        But what makes me sad is that, I make new project, I'll set up encoding (through settings) and it's another problem - also writes some strange captions. So the problem still going on...

        I have been set up editors settings. I have been saving all files. I have been programming this files. And also it makes strange captions...I don't understand, maybe I am just so stupid, maybe it's my karma, or my Shauma, but it drives me mad...

          You can set the default encoding in the preferences. It works like a charm. No troubles over here. I never had any problems.

          But please keep in mind that changing the encoding afterwards can be error prone. You must make sure that all tools you use catch up the new settings, including external editors!

            I don't use external editors, just Qt Creator.

            So what I do:

            I create a GUI project.

            I write KISS code (as I showed on previous page)

            Save with UTF-8

            Build under Debugging

            And It writes this unknown strings...

              Sorry, I cannot help further. It works for me and many others. We do not have a crystal ball here, so we cannot see what are your settings are, whether the files are really saved with UTF-8, and if you did add the encoding stuff in the .pro and main method mentioned earlier....

                  And now? Do you expect us from this cool addition to help you any further? Some code, preferable a small, complete, compilable example in a ZIP, would get you out of that corner....

                  EDIT
                  Your encodings are still messed up.

                  Please zip up the sources (and only the sources, please. no intermediary files like .o or moc_xxx and no executable).

                  And post a screenshot of your settings panes (preferences / text editor / behavior) and the project settings (projects / editor settings)

                      You must add the UTF-8 configs to your .pro and main method, as explained in "this comment":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewreply/33472/

                      These steps are always required, when using UTF-8 encoded sources.

                              That was a question like: my computer crashes, what went wrong.
                              be more precise
                              give us code, exact locations etc.

                                  Okay: this is code:
                                  "http://pastebin.com":http://pastebin.com/45LnaGCM

                                  And it write something like at the beginning of this topic (some special chars are not displayed correctly)...
                                  Maybe Qt uses WIN32API function MessageBoxA(A as Ansi)(...); which should be deprecated, but it uses Ansi variant of MessageBox (my opinion)...

                                    Yes, I've solved the problem and this is solution:
                                    Do not work with output before set up the codecs (as it was shown before)...

                                    Thank you guys, I think everything is solved...so let's mark as solved...
