I've tried to convert the string with various encoding, using :

MyString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.gamekult.com/communaute/chat/";]];
NSData * data = [MyString dataUsingEncoding:NSUnicodeStringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES];
MyString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUnicodeStringEncoding];


But it doesn't change anything.

You're doing unnecessary, and probably incorrect, conversions. Go to NSData first, and then to NSString using an explicit encoding:


NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL: theURL];
NSString *string = [[[NSString alloc] initWithData: data encoding: NSISOLatin1StringEncoding] autorelease];


Note however, that this will not solve your problem unless you happen to find out the correct encoding to use! Don't use NSUnicodeStringEncoding (or any other encoding) unless you're _sure_ it's the right one!

Also note that regular string encodings will not (AFAIK) handle HTML character encodings for you. To do that, you might be able to use the functionality provided by NSAttributedString (in the AppKit additions). Init an attributed string with your HTML data, and then grab a plain NSString from this attributed string.

Or perhaps there's functionality in WebKit to do this?
