QT QString to qml string converts with question marks on windows-CodePudding

When I am trying to display text that contains "·" symbol in QML, I am facing a strange behavoiur.

If I define the string with this symbol directly in the qml file:

...
Text {
    text: "1 · 2"
}

Everything displays fine, but when I am trying to get this string from c :

...
Q_INVOKABLE QString brokenStr() {
    return QString("1 · 2");
}

...
Text {
    text: myQObjectClass.brokenStr()
}

The "·" symbol is displayed like a question mark, and this happens only on Windows. On macOS and linux it displays correctly.

Looks like something going wrong when QString converts to a qml string. Any ideas how to solve this?

CodePudding user response：

As Öö Tiib mentioned, compiler on windows could not read the plain "·" correctly. The workaround was to use QChar(0xb7) instead.

Final solution is returning QString("1 %1 2").arg(QChar(0xb7)) from cpp function
