Qt convert unicode entities

Question

In QT 5.4 and C++ I try to decode a string that has unicode entities.

I have this QString:

QString string = \"file\\u00d6\\u00c7\\u015e\\u0130\\u011e         


        

Answer 1

Qt provides a macro called QStringLiteral for handling string literals correctly.

Here's a full working example:

#include 
#include 

int main(void) {
   QString string = QStringLiteral("file\u00d6\u00c7\u015e\u0130\u011e\u00dc\u0130\u00e7\u00f6\u015fi\u011f\u00fc\u0131.txt");
   qDebug() << string;

   return 0;
}

As mentioned in the above comments, you do need to print to a console that supports these characters for this to work.
