I'm using UTF-8 - at least think so.
I subclassed QNetworkReply and QNetworkAccessManager. In my custom
AccessManager' createRequest() I'm returning my custom Reply (for a
custom scheme). In this custom Reply I implement readData(), which fills
it's data buffer with content.toUtf8().data() ("content" is the QString,
which contains the generated HTML source code I mentioned before.)

You mentioned form items. In fact, I do not have a form on this page,
it's a plain link like:
<a href="myscheme://foo/bar?item=%C3%9CBER">myLink</a>

If the user clicks on such a link, I get
request.url().encodedQueryItemValue("item") == "%DCBER"

Thanks for your answer,
 Joachim
