I assume the strings in the java sources are expected to be utf-8, but at 
runtime they hold 16 bit chars.

From QtSupport.cpp, QtSupport::toQString() it does this:

 _jchar_str = env->GetStringChars(str, 0);

 if (_bigEndianUnicode) {
  (*qstring)->setUnicode((QChar *) _jchar_str, env->GetStringLength(str));
 } else {
  (*qstring)->setUnicodeCodes((const ushort *) _jchar_str, 
env->GetStringLength(str));
 }

So it just takes the java string and assumes it's 16 bit unicode. 

I've attached the .ui file I used for testing the ruby rbuic utility. It 
contains some Russian and Hebrew (right to left) text from the 
qt-copy/examples/fonts/simple-qfont-demo example.
