1. QR does not support Unicode.
2. TntControls does not cover the QR related stuff.

On Tnt's homesite there is another download. TntEx that contains the 
TntQrCtrls module.
There is no packages prebuilt for the cpp builder, you have to make them 
yourself.
I have modified the above package for the cpp builder v6 with QR v 4.03Pro, 
it contains the controls: TntQRLabel, TntQRMemo, TntQRDBText and 
TntQRSysData.

Accoring to the QR makers in Norway, here is the answer from them.
"Paramjit Sehra, QBS Software Limited:  However, please note we do not 
support unicode. The technical answer is that in Delphi the String type is 8 
bit chars, but the WideString type is 16 bit. If one just changes all the 
String, to Widestring, it fails because, for instance, stringlists don't 
support Unicode, and nor do many VCL and API functions. So it's Delphi 
mainly that's the stumbling block."
