[PyQt] Displaying . in a tableitem

[Protopia]

Thanks. I tried looking up ellipsis on the internet and came up with the \U equivalent of the \N below which worked.

I had the ellipsis copied and pasted from Microsoft word into a "" string and that seemed to be the problem.

The following works for me...

import sys
from PyQt4.QtGui import QApplication, QListWidget, QListWidgetItem

app = QApplication(sys.argv)
lw = QListWidget()

QListWidgetItem(u"\N{horizontal ellipsis}", lw)

lw.show()
app.exec_()
