How to build a string with UTF characters in C++ (QT framework)

Question

I am trying to construct a string (QString) made up of 'bullets' (black small circle, U+2022).

Anyone know how I'd do this?

Thanks in advance, Wes

eg: "* * * * * *" but bullets instead of asterisks

You can create a single black bullet by using:

QString::fromUtf8( "\u2022" );

You can string some of those together to get what you want.

How about

QString circle(L"\u2022");

Or if you want 5 bullets: QString circles(5, QChar(0x2022));

Is is not the syntax like.

new QString(L"**");

And ensure that your source file is UTF-8 encoded?

Sorry I can't try that myself.

In C++, new isn't that common.

Thats right, RAII is the way to go. However I used new here to show that a new QString was getting constructed.
