From the docs:

Qt uses Unicode to store, draw and manipulate strings.

From this I understand that Qt ‘talks’ Unicode – all other character sets are converted to Unicode with the aid of Qt’s Text Codec system. I believe the same underlying system is used for standard text Widgets as well as other parts of the framework, e.g. QtWebKit.

The conversion system is directly exposed to the user in QTextCodec, which provides (among other things) a codec for EUC-KR.

Converting EUC-KR to Unicode should therefore be as simple as:

QByteArray encodedString = "...";
QTextCodec *codec = QTextCodec::codecForName("EUC-KR");
QString string = codec->toUnicode(encodedString);
