I'll update.

Ah, I see. So the problem is writing with QTextStream then reading directly 
with QXmlStreamReader. Unlike QXmlStream{Reader,Writer}, which default to 
UTF-8 as per XML definitions, QTextStream defaults to the locale codec.

If you had used QTextStream on the input and passed that to QXmlStreamReader, 
it would have worked too.
