Qt utf-8 encoding issue

    #include <iostream>

    #include <QString>

    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
    
        QString qstr = QString::fromUtf8("  𝐺𝐷𝑃 𝑑   𝐺𝐷𝑃𝑑");
        cout << qstr.length() << std::endl;
        for (QChar c : qstr) cout << QString(c).toStdString() << endl;
    }

Got output:

QString stores a string of 16-bit QChars https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstring.html

" 𝐺𝐷𝑃 𝑑 𝐺𝐷𝑃𝑑" string has 4 byte char. following code can be used:

QString str = QString::fromUtf8("  𝐺𝐷𝑃 𝑑   𝐺𝐷𝑃𝑑");
cout << "uint 32b: " << str.toUcs4().size() << endl;


foreach (const uint &  ucsChar, str.toUcs4())
    cout << QChar::decomposition(ucsChar).toStdString() << endl;
