I want to get a list of the text in all of the nodes called<Orth>  and put them into a QListWidget called "hLexNav". To do this, I wrote the following bit of code (this isn't the whole thing, just the parts that are supposed to add items to the listbox):

Further experimentation with addItem( ), addItems(), and insertItem( ) show that any string that contains an non-ASCII character results in an empty Item being inserted into the QListWidget.

Are you 100 % sure that unicode is handled properly while reading the 
xml? I never had problems with unicode and PyQt but I strictly using 
unicode strings only in my apps.

This for example works for me (Python 2.7):

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

if __name__ == "__main__":

     import sys
     from PyQt4.QtGui import *
     app = QApplication(sys.argv)
     list_widget = QListWidget()
     list_widget.addItem(u"ÄÜ^°  là lÁ")
     list_widget.show()
     app.exec_()
