Encoding and escaped strings

[Mark81]

Hello,
after sending a request to a remote service, QNetworkReply returns an encoded string, i.e.:

QByteArray data = reply->readAll();
qDebug() << data;

"name":"citt\xC3\xA0"

I need to pass this string (it's a json) to QJsonDocument. Usually I do:

QJsonDocument doc = QJsonDocument::fromJson(data);

But now the output of the name field is:

citt?

I'm quite confused about encoding and escaping.
I tried the following:

1. convert the raw (escaped) data to UTF-8
2. convert the QString to QByteArray to create the JSON doc

QByteArray raw = reply->readAll();
QJsonDocument doc = QJsonDocument::fromJson(QString::fromUtf8(raw).toUtf8());
qDebug() << doc.toJson();

anyway the output is still:

citt?

I'm expecting:

città

Hello,
What does this print out:

QTextStream out(stdout);
out << QString::fromUtf8(raw) << endl;

PS.
qDebug() will escape non-latin and/or non-text characters.

@kshegunov it outputs:

"name":"citt?"

Curious. What about:

qDebug() << (QString::fromUtf8(value) == QStringLiteral("citt\u00E0"));

Where value is the JSON value of that particular field (i.e. città).

PS.
What I'm trying to figure out is if this is an output issue, or encoding issue.
