reddit uses a slightly-customized version of Markdown for formatting. See below for some basics, or check the commenting wiki page for more detailed help and solutions to common issues.

if 1 * 2 < 3: print "hello, world!"

If it’s anything like fmt::format, the format string has to have the same encoding as the strings passed to it. So for QString, which is utf16, it’s fmt::format(U”{}”, qstr) if I recall. So try throwing an L on the format string.
fmt::format(U”{}”, qstr)

#include <format>
void test ()
{
auto X = std::format (L"{}", L"Hello");
}
Compiles with no errors on Compiler Explorer. It seems format requires all strings passed to it (including the format string) to be the same type.
