The problem might be here:
return [NSString stringWithUTF8String:value];
UTF-8 agrees with Latin-1 on the subset of characters covered by
ASCII, but not on all of Latin-1. There's a good chance that the
Latin-1 encoding of "Sölve" is not a valid UTF-8 encoded string at
all.
Not just a good chance, but a solid guarantee. Any time a single
non-ASCII appears (i.e. without any other non-ASCII octets directly
following or preceding it) in a stream of octets, it is not valid
UTF-8.
