Of course... Windows 8-bit APIs always use the local encoding, so you need 
to use the Unicode non-POSIX API to be able to open those files. (i.e., 
use CreateFileW to open the file; I don't know if they provide a _wopen 
or _wfopen)

Also remember that use of QStrings to mean filenames is widespread in Qt 
and KDE code. You have to convert *all* of those to QByteArray.
