Oops, that should be U+00E0.

I think (mostly) everyone here is missing the point. The accented "a", also known as U+0030, does not compare before the word "arc" as it should (especially since it compares equal to a non-accented "a"). The original poster had a legitimate problem which had nothing to do with file encodings but that seems to be all everyone is talking about. The question is, is it a bug that the accented "a" compares after the word "arc" or is it a misunderstanding?

gcc works fine with UTF-8, the problem is @"" is only defined for 7-bit ASCII strings. Try

NSString *mot3 = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:"à"];

Here's a real-life example :

NSString *mot1 = @"arc";
NSString *mot2 = @"a";
NSString *mot3 = @"à";

Unless things have changed recently, GCC isn't UTF-8 aware and may be doing strange things to your text. Try reading your strings in from a file or from the UI and try again.
