Did you just create that? If so, then it would need to get published by you as 
a patch as you are the author. It would be a very cool thing to have in QChar 
directly, i.e. QChar::fromUtf8 or similar. And we'll need proper unit tests. 
Also, best would be if we could share the code with the existing UTF8 
decoders.
