How to convert C-string that contains japanese character to NSString?

Check out Carbon's text encoding converter. If the string is in a Japanese Mac encoding, you can create a Mac to Unicode converter and pass it the string. You can then put the Unicode bytes you get back into an NSString with

NSString* newString = [ NSString stringWithCharacters:macStr
length:numBytes ];

That's an awful lot of work. You can use NSString's initWithBytes:length:encoding:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/ ObjC_classic/Classes/NSString.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000154/ BCIGDAHA

And it allows you to pass in the encoding of your string. A list of valid NSStringEncodings is at:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/ ObjC_classic/TypesAndConstants/FoundationTypes.html#//apple_ref/doc/ uid/20000018/BAJJAICE

(And if you want more NSStringEncodings to use, you can convert from the many CFStringEncodings with CFStringConvertEncodingToNSStringEncoding:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/CoreFoundation/Reference/ CFStringRef/Reference/function_group_5.html#//apple_ref/c/func/ CFStringConvertEncodingToNSStringEncoding
