    Dear all,

    I'm reading a .ts file generated by lupdate version 5.1.1 with QXmlStreamReader. The .ts file contains the string @'@

    to escape the "apostroph sign":http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/27/index.htm .

    The function
    @QXmlStreamReader::readElementText() @

    returns the apostroph unescaped "'" properly.

    When I use the function
    @QXmlStreamWriter::writeCharacters()@

    to write a "'" it will not be converted to
    @' @

    Other escaped signs e.g. ">" and its escape sequence will be interpreted properly by both classes.

    This is not the similar behaviour I'm expected.

    I don't know if this is a bug, or If I'm using the classes unintentional.

      Hi and welcome to devnet,

      I think this might indeed be a bug, so I've created a "bug report":https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-33643 a potential fix is currently waiting for review
