UTF8 should be fine, though Latin1 will also work here.
How are you getting the UTF8 for these strings? Have
you looked at

Hi,

Both Latin1 and Utf8 conversion yield the same negative results.

I get compagnieën back from SOLR as:

compagnieën

I post with: toLatin1() and retrieve from SOLR into QString with 
QString::fromLatin1()

Rather dissapointing. Any ideas as to what I may be doing wrong are very 
welcome at this stage.

Thanks,

Roland.

Hi Gora,

thanks a lot for the below feedback. I use toLatin1() frequently and will 
opt for that to see what it does for me.

Thanks again.

Kind regards,

Roland
