[Qt-creator] UTF-8 Strings in QtCreator source code

[André Hartmann]

Hi Jochen,

if I remember correctly, MSVC (at least older versions) needs a BOM 
(Byte Order Mark) at the file's beginning to detect UTF-8 encoded files.
Then it should work even without C++11 string constants.

Maybe that's the reason for your problems.

Best regards,
André
