Avoid using the direct 8bit-to-QString assignments at all costs. That 
includes the operator= you mentioned.

Instead, please use QString::fromLatin1, QString::fromLocal8Bit, 
QString::fromUtf8 (for QCString or char* to QString conversion), or 
QString::latin1, QString::local8Bit, QString::utf8 (for QString to char* 
conversion).

Summary answer: that depends on the encoding. One of the three functions I 
mentioned or using a QTextCodec.
