help wanted regarding displaying Japanese characters in a GUI using QT and python

[prats]

I want to write a GUI application in PYTHON using QT. This application
is supposed to take in Japanese characters. I am using PyQt as the
wrapper for using QT from python. I am able to take input in japanese.
But I am unable to display them back to GUI. It displays some junk
characters Can anyone suggest me some way how to debug the issue.

The code used for tranferring data from view to document is:

"
codec = QTextCodec.codecForName('ISO-2022-JP')
encoded_string = codec.fromUnicode( string )
return str(encoded_string)
"

here string is QString object containing the data from the view.
I think the encoded_string is a QCString object and contains the
unicode coded characters of the japanese string given in the GUI?

how am I going to display the data back to the view from document.

I would be really grateful if somebody helps me in this regard.
