Yeah, I realized later. ;-)

"ü" looks UTF-16 or something else for me. UTF8 is one byte and "ü" is
correct for it (we also have such characters in Hungarian ;-)).
toString().utf8() was useless anyway, as QString is in unicode and a
QTextStream accepts QStrings. The documentation of QTextStream says that
without encoding setting it uses local 8-bit and it doesn't matter what you
put to the stream.
 So the output might be influenced by the local setting, but I'm not so good
in the encoding details. Reading is automatically detected, so the best is
to make sure it's saved in UTF8 and this is done by setting the encoding
for the textstream. I had encoding problems in the past and using
setEncoding() always solved the problem. ;-)
