To recode such string you can use something like this:
const char *cString = [stringToRecode
cStringUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
if (cString == NULL)
// The string contained some non ascii characters
...
NSString *recodedString = [NSString stringWithCString:cString
encoding:NSNonLossyASCIIStringEncoding];
if (recodedString == nil)
// The string was ASCII, but not a NSNonLossyASCIIStringEncoding
...
You don't need core foundation for this unless you deal with huge
strings.

If your string actually contains what you typed above (i.e. a
slash, lower-case 'u', etc.) then I believe that string has been
encoded with kCFStringEncodingNonLossyASCII. Such an encoding uses
7-bit ASCII characters to represent all Unicode code-points.
To work with the CF string encodings, you can use
CFStringConvertEncodingToNSStringEncoding to map them to an
appropriate NSStringEncoding.
I realize that it's probably an encoding problem, but I'm not
really sure what the best way to turn those codes into normal text
is.
Can someone give me a hint of how to turn an NSString with the
above content into an NSString with readable text content?
As to if it will be readable, I agree with John Stiles in that it
appears to be garbage.
