So search and replacing the smart quotes is the way to go then.
Thanks!

Hopefully a quick question. What is the recommended way to convert
the Unicode character 0x2019 which is an apostrophe to the ASCII
equivalent which is 0x0027? The string has to be down-converted
for 7-
bit ASCII transmission and loss of some unconvertable characters is
acceptable but the apostrophe is one that I'd expect should be
convertable. I've tried:
NSData * textData = [[textView string] dataUsingEncoding:
NSASCIIStringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES];
with a variety of different encoding types but none of them get me
the right ASCII character. At the very least I can do a search and
replace but I'd like to make sure that I've not missed anything
obvious.
The only thing that you've missed is that U+2019 is *not* equivalent
to U+27. :) That is, Unicode does not define any decomposition
(compatibility or otherwise) from U+2019 to U+0027.
