Is it still possible to write a custom data formatter plugin for Xcode 2.5? If so, which template should be used? I've been unable to create a data formatter for our Unicode string class (string<UniChar>) that will display the string value. If anybody knows how to do either, please let me know.

I submitted a radar years ago asking for additional View As types so I could at least open the string down to the data pointer and view it as UTF16, but they haven't bothered adding those yet (something CW had and Xcode 1.0 really should've had). In the absence of being able to do that, being able to use a data formatter would be nice.

Unfortunately the pipeline from gdb to Xcode is still 7-bit ASCII and it's not possible to display any other encoding in Xcode's debugger. All non-7-bit characters are rendered in octal by gdb.  

Your bug <rdar://problem/3539888> Data submenu needs C String, Pascal String, Unicode String has been addressed for the first two but is still pending for Unicode string values, with 9 related bugs.
