Stephen J. Turnbull:

...  Eg, this is why the common GUIs for Unix (X.org, GTK+, and Qt) either provide or require UTF-8 coding for their text.

Qt uses UTF-16 for its basic QString type. While QString is mostly treated as a black box which you can create from input buffers in any encoding, the only encoding allowed for a contents-by-reference QString (QString::fromRawData) is UTF-16. http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qstring.html#fromRawData
