Ah, you want NSUTF8StringEncoding instead. Generally speaking, URL encoding always uses UTF-8 nowadays.

In particular, it fails when given a filename containing a “smart quote” (not easily created directly with the keyboard, but auto-generated as part of a time machine backup, based on the machine name).

You mean an open or close (aka “curly”) quote? They’re easily typed with Option-[ and Option-Shift-[.

(Small typographic rant: These are the true quotation marks. The “straight” one was a shortcut invented for the typewriter, to save an extra key, and should never be used in print.)
