The C++ lexer got UTF-8 support in Qt Creator 3.2, so I strongly
encourage you to build your plugin against Qt Creator 3.2 or even
better the current version, which is 3.3.

Note that 

    void getPosition(unsigned utf16charOffset,
                     unsigned *line,
                     unsigned *column = 0,
                     const StringLiteral **fileName = 0) const;


expects an UTF-16 offset, but you seem to mix it up with byte offsets
(you pass in token.bytesBegin() to tokenizeWords()).

This plugin looks nice, please think about upstreaming it.
