Thanks RbnJrg.

Wow! It appears your keyboard is doing really strange things that even Qt is not grokking.
It is seeing that char sequence as ending with a ^ no matter what. And u001E is an ascii control character record separator(RS) and I have no idea where that comes from.

Interestingly, the nativeVirtualKey values show you are hitting different keys on the keyboard but Qt thinks it both are the ^ key.

The worst thing is on a standard US Keyboard Shift+6 is a ^ so something in the Qt code is ignoring your keyboard layout.

This is very strange.
