Please note that you can choose to use a different source character set, but 
since Qt 5.0, the 8-bit strings passed to QString must be UTF-8. This is not 
configurable any more, like it used to be.

Moreover, since 6.0, the locale character set on Unix systems must also be 
UTF-8. You'll get a warning from QCoreApplication if it isn't, then it'll 
forcibly change the locale to one with UTF-8.
