Xcode is probably reading InfoPlist.strings with the wrong text encoding. Most likely, your code wrote UTF-8 that Xcode is reading as UTF-16.

Open your project in Xcode, Get Info on each InfoPlist.strings file, and set General > File Encoding to the encoding your code writes. When Xcode asks what to do with the existing file, choose Reinterpret.
