Displaying a float as a QString on a QLabel displays a "G" where a dot "." should go

Question

I'm trying to display a float in a QLabel but for some reason it keeps displaying a "G" right where the dot should go. In other words if the result is 1.23445 it displays 1G23445.

Please look at the following code...

float myFloat = 2.09863591;
QString floatAsString = QString::number(myFloat, 'f',8);
qDebug()<< "Number as String: "<< floatAsString;// here it displays 2.09863591
ui->label->setText(floatAsString);// here it displays 2G09863591

Why is that when I display the float result on a QLabel it outputs a "G" instead of a "."?

What am I missing?

Thanks

Your code works fine for me. You are probably doing something wrong, like not rebuilt properly, etc.

main.cpp

#include <QLabel>
#include <QApplication>

#include <QString>
#include <QDebug>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    float f = 2.09863591;
    QString s = QString::number(f, 'f', 8);
    qDebug()<< "Test:" << s;
    QLabel label;
    label.setText(s);
    label.show();
    return a.exec();
}

main.pro

TEMPLATE = app
TARGET = main
greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4):QT += widgets
SOURCES += main.cpp

Output

Number as String: "2.0986359"
