Stop right there. Objective-C source code files are 7-bit ASCII. You
can't reliably put 8-bit characters of any sort in them.
You should either use a direct character constant (i.e. unichar x =
0x014d) or you should use the localization mechanism and put the
o-macron in a localized string.
I have not been able to find any other way to insert a high unicode
character into a string besides entering the character directly as a
constant NSString. If I try to use a \u format control, the compiler
tells me that it doesn't know what a \u format control is.
That's because the Objective-C language doesn't define a \u format
control. That's a Java thing.
