How would I get the multibyte QChar to become multiple bytes in the QByteArray?

According to https://unicodeplus.com/U+4FF0 is encoded as 0xE4 0xBF 0xB0 when converted to utf-8

What's right.
"Hello there\xE4\xBF\xB0"

From the docs it sounds like to Utf 8 might create multiple bytes in the QByteArray, but upon testing it did not.

Why not ?

QString s = "Hello there";
s.append(QChar(0x4FF0));

QByteArray a=s.toUtf8();
s=a;  // back to QString

qDebug()<<s;  // print "Hello there俰"

But I want the unicode bytes for my unicode char "俰" to appear in the byte array.

Then you have to use an encoding which supports this unciode char, Latin1 is not one of them but UTF-8.

QString s = "Hello there";
s.append(QChar(0x4FF0));
QByteArray a = s.toLatin();

But I want the unicode bytes for my unicode char "俰" to appear in the byte array. I haven't picked any encoding (at least not knowingly)
