The .strings file is UTF-16 (unlike the source files which are 7-bit ascii) so you can actually just type non-ASCII characters right into it without having to the less readable escaping thing.

In terms of keys, I've been doing stuff like this for non-ASCII7 values:

/* Counting by a number to simulate multiplication */
"Count by %@\\U2026" = "Count by %@...";

Where the "..." in the right-hand string is actually the proper Unicode ellipses.

I don't know which Apple sample I saw this approach being used in, but I thought it made a lot of sense. I can see where this may break down a bit in other languages since they would tend to have several \\Uxxxx values in the key. That may make things unreadable.
