Can anyone assist me?
You can only create static NSStrings using the @"..." construct if they are
7-bit US-ASCII strings. I'm not sure if you were expecting to be able to put
MacOSRoman-encoded characters in there or not; they didn't survive being
emailed.
There's no way to create truly static strings of arbitrary Unicode
characters, but there are a couple of workarounds that get you close:
1) calculate the UTF-8 encoding of your Unicode string, and use [NSString
stringWithUTF8String:]
2) build your string in an array of unichar, and then use [NSString
stringWithCharacters:length:]
3) build your string in an array of char, wrap it in an NSData and use
NSString's initWith
Data:encoding: to get an NSString.
Cheers,
Chris
