QT convert string to UTF-8

Question

I'm having some troubles converting a string Bob RosÃ©n to Bob Rosén

Tried:

QString str = v.toObject().value("name").toString(); // Contains Bob RosÃ©n
qDebug() << str.toUtf8(); // Outputs Bob RosÃ©n

Any ideas?

utf8 accents are composed of 2 characters (or more not sure), so when using "toutf8" with qdebug() it will show the REAL characters — Korvo

Following works for me. A more elegant solution may exist.

QString str = "Bob RosÃ©n";
qDebug() << QString::fromUtf8(str.toLatin1().constData());
