In my UI, a user may type in any string into a NSTextField, e.g.
Chinese characters.

Do I assume the return value from

NSString * value = [textField stringValue]

is always encoded with UTF8?

NSStrings are encoding-independent. They represent strings, not sequences of bytes.

I need to convert this to a properly url encoded value as a GET parameter.

[value stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] will return a string with proper UTF-8 percent escaping. _______________________________________________
