Strange behavior of stringWithFormat and accented characters

Hi Everyone,

I am new to cocoa and making a small coredata application in which I have a controller in order to gather and print many informations.

My first try was successful but as I am learning, I have a lot of repetitive code. So I started a new version of the controller — more concise — and here is what's happening :

This is my code in the two controllers — in the old one, working, as well in the second one, with a strange behavior :


NSString *movieDramatic = [movieController valueForKeyPath:@"selection.dramatic"];
NSString *movieThematic = [movieController valueForKeyPath:@"selection.thematic"];
NSString *output = [NSSTring stringWithFormat:@"Proposition Dramatique : %@\nProposition Thématique : %@.",
movieDramatic, movieThematic];



As you can see (I hope), there is an accented letter in the @"" part of the string ("é" on "Thématique").


With the first controller, every thing is OK : the accented letter is here as expected. In the second one, the accented letter is replaced by two characters ("√©") — a typical encoding problem !

In the debbuger, I can read the values; right in the first controller, wrong in the second. The problem occurs in the last line of this code. And movieDramatic and movieThematic are strings that contains lot of accented letters which are output as expected.

Cleaning the target doesn't do any good.

So, what's going wrong ?

The only thing *new* is that I have downloaded the new version of XCode (2.2) and work with it.
Is there some 'preferences' that I have not set ?


Has anyone an idea ?

Thank you.
Olivier

PS. Sorry for my poor english…  _______________________________________________
