Unicode strings in ppc and intel

Hi,

I am facing a strange problem with an app that I am developing. It retrieves information from iTunes (song name, artist, etc.) and all my tests were successful (I am using a ppc based mac). But some users have reported strange chinese characters showing up even when iTunes displays latin characters. Reviewing the code I am using to retrieve the strings from iTunes it works this way: an NSString is created using initWithBytes method, an Unichar variable as the parameter and NSUnicodeStringEncoding as the encoding. The users that are complaining use intel-based macs so I think this is a big-endian/little-endian problem. How can I handle this situation? Checking for __BIG_ENDIAN__ and __LITTLE_ENDIAN__ ? I searched the list archives but did not find any useful informartion so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Julio Cesar Silva dos Santos
