Aki,
Thanks for your reply.
I'm not sure you understood however. I know that the compiler accepts
UTF8 in constant NSStrings, but what I'm not sure about is the
'genstrings' command line tool (see 'man genstrings'). I've tested, and
genstrings works with non-ASCII strings, but the docs say it doesn't. I
want to be sure the docs are just old and that I'm not getting lucky.

Well, performance is secondary to correctness.
Thanks,
Sean
