You didn't say what the problem was.

Qt doesn't know the encoding of your source files. You must either tell the 
compiler to convert all string literals to UTF-8 or you must convert them 
yourself to UTF-8 or UTF-16 before passing to QString. You said you'd done 
that:

That sounds like the solution.
