You don't need this step, as CFStrings and NSStrings are toll-free
bridged, meaning they are equivalent. (A cast is all you need.)

These other steps look fine, and assuming the original data was in UCS-2
format, should work. You should open the original data in TextEdit (or
copy/paste) and see how it shows up...
