It turns out I had a sample with German teletext that showed the same
problem, and the fix also seems to fix your Swedish sample.  The cc608
problem I mentioned with DéTENTE and FIANCéE is similar.  I think Qt5 may
be less forgiving about constructing a QChar from a non-ASCII C char, so:
  QChar c = 'é';
needs to be changed to:
  QChar c = QLatin1Char('é');
Hopefully cc608 and teletext are the only places that need this attention,
but it's really hard to know for sure.  In any case, I'll push the fix to
master soon.
