How to set the text encoding within the "Application Output" window?

[laplacedoge]

I'm a QT developer from China, so the default console encoding of my Windows11 is GBK, but the encoding of my source file is UTF-8, it doesn't show the same text(For example it shows "Hello, 世界!" in source file but "Hello, 涓栫晫!" in the "Application Output" windows), how to solve this problem?

Such thing like use "CHCP 65001" in the code or setting the encoding of the "Application Output" windows?

The 'Application Output' is a debug output window. I'm not aware that you can set a text codec there.

You need to do two things:

1. Enable UTF-8 for "Language for non-Unicode programs"
   
2. Set UTF-8 for Qt Creator's codec for tools
   

This works starting with Qt Creator 4.15
