QString global variable and coding problem

[Hostel]

I have a problem with QString which is a global variable. Coding of this variable is wrong. File is in UTF8. Here is example code:
@
#include <QtCore/QCoreApplication>
#include <QTextCodec>
#include <QDebug>

QString global( "ąęśćź" );

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

QTextCodec::setCodecForCStrings(QTextCodec::codecForName("UTF-8"));
QTextCodec::setCodecForTr(QTextCodec::codecForName("UTF-8"));

QString inside( "ąęśćź" );

qDebug() << "Global: " << global; // print Global:  "ąęśćź"  - it's wrong
qDebug() << "Inside: " << inside; // print Inside:  "ąęśćź" - good

return a.exec&#40;&#41;;

}
@
How to solve it?

Hello,

How about utf-8 BOM.
if you select "add if encoding is UTF-8" (on windows), it may work correctly.

Your global QString is created before you set codec for c strings to UTF8 so default Latin1 is used. Hence text corruption.

sidewinder your are right. To print correct global string this is required:
@
global.toLatin1()
