    copied!<p>I spent a whole day trying to figure this out with no luck. I looked Everywhere but no luck with working code.</p> <p>OS: Win XP Sp2 IDE &amp; FRAMEWORK: C++, Qt Creator 2.0.</p> <p>I am trying to output some unicode (UTF-8) text to the windows console but all I see is gibberish in place of the unicode chars. I know the win console does support unicode (since win 2000)... at least according to Wikipedia and many on the net but I don't see how to make it work with Qt. Most "solutions" I've seen (haven't seen many) use C++ and WInAPI tech... which I can't use because that is not the Qt way. I am using QStrings and Qt!</p> <p>Code is bellow. I took out all the different things I tried to keep the code simple for the post. Hope someone can get the code to work.</p> <pre><code>#include &lt;QtCore/QCoreApplication&gt; #include &lt;QString&gt; #include &lt;QTextStream&gt; #include &lt;QDate&gt; #include &lt;QFile&gt; using namespace std; int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { QCoreApplication app(argc, argv); QTextStream qin(stdin); QTextStream qout(stdout); //The last 2 chars in QString each need a double slash for an accent. QString szqLine = QString::fromUtf8("abc áéüóöú őű"); //I want this text console output to be in red text color. qout &lt;&lt; "Bellow are some unicode characters: " &lt;&lt; endl; //The Win XP console does not display the unicode chars correctly!! //The cosole does not display unicode chars even though it is capable //according to wikipedia. I just don't know how with Qt. //I want this text output in white(or default font color, not red.) qout &lt;&lt; szqLine &lt;&lt; endl; //Would be nice to get some unicode input from console too. qout &lt;&lt; "Write some unicode chars like above: " &lt;&lt; endl; QString szqInput; szqInput = QString::fromUtf8(qin.readLine()); qout &lt;&lt; "You wrote: " &lt;&lt; endl; qout &lt;&lt; szqInput &lt;&lt; endl; return app.exec(); } </code></pre>
