There is a very much in passing comment in  'Internationalising Programming Topics'  guide for Cocoa.

        Note: It is recommended that you save strings files using the UTF-16 encoding,
        which is the default encoding for standard strings files. It is possible to create strings
        files using other property-list formats, including binary property-list formats and XML
        formats that use the UTF-8 encoding, but doing so is not recommended . . .

    Cheers,
