from Unicode to 8Bit (UTF-8)
--
someStr = unicode(QString("hello"))
eightBitStr = someStr.encode('utf-8')


from 8Bit (UTF-8) top Unicode
--
read8Bit = <get the string>
unicodeStr = read8Bit.decode('utf-8')
qString = QString(unicodeStr)


eg. Pasted from Konsole
--
>>> smeStr = str('൱')
>>> smeStr.decode('utf-8')
u'\u0d71'
