Wow, 7-bit. How 1984. Hopefully it's scheduled for a swift kick into the present. Can't Xcode just ask for the pointer and then display it as Unicode on its own?

Not necessarily. Remember that, unlike 1984, we have protected memory these days. Xcode, gdb -- the actual debugger -- and the executable being debugged are each in a separate address space. So the data always needs to be passed across address spaces via an IPC mechanism, and the interpretation & rendering-for-display of that data may not even occur in Xcode itself.
