I was working with a networking based application. But when I requested data
with QNetworkAccessManager, I got the reply text like this one.
<pre><code>Ð˜Ð·ÑƒÑ‡ÐµÐ½Ð¸Ðµ Ð¸ Ð¾Ð±ÑƒÑ‡ÐµÐ½Ð¸Ðµ Ð¸Ð½Ð¾ÑÑ‚Ñ€Ð°Ð½Ð½Ñ‹Ñ… ÑÐ·Ñ‹ÐºÐ¾Ð²
</code></pre>It happened because the page I was trying to download contains Unicode
characters. So I needed to convert the reply texts into Unicode so that I can
use them as QString. I just did the following:
<pre><code class="lang-cpp">QByteArray reply8bit = networkreply-&gt;readAll();
QString replyUnicode = QString::fromLocal8Bit(reply8bit);
qDebug() &lt;&lt; replyUnicode;
</code></pre>
And viola! I got the Unicode back! Look...

</code></pre>So while using <code>QByteArray</code> as Unicode, just use <code>QString::fromLocal8bit()</code> function. :)

So while using `QByteArray` as Unicode, just use `QString::fromLocal8bit()` function. :)
