Actually that code is not correct since Unicode does have funny little chars like "01C9;LATIN SMALL LETTER LJ". That is one lowercase letter (lj).

Uppercasing that gives you "01C7;LATIN CAPITAL LETTER LJ" (LJ).

So that is not what you want.

You want "01C8;LATIN CAPITAL LETTER L WITH SMALL LETTER J" (Lj), which is the Titlecase. So you should use toTitleCase() instead of toUpper().
</nitpick>

@QString capitalize(const QString &str)
{
QString tmp = str;
// if you want to ensure all other letters are lowercase:
tmp = tmp.toLower();
tmp[0] = str[0].toUpper();
return tmp;
