So now I am a bit stuck: I know since Qt 5 (and Python 3) everything is Unicode, but how are Unicode code points represented in .ui Files from QT Designer a.k.a. pyside6-designer? I load such file with QUiLoader.load():
<widget class="QLabel" name="label_9">
<property name="text">
<string>🏡 whatever</string>
It also does work with HTML entities like £ but others like 🏡 only show the box.
