Introduced in Xcode 3.1, we now have the new Strings files output
encoding option, which can be set to either "UTF-8", "UTF-16" (default),
or "binary".
I appreciate that Apple wants to make apps smaller (which might have
been one reason why they also introduced the Interface Builder NIB
Postprocessor option "Strip NIB Files" and other stuff).
Why is the STRINGS_FILE_OUTPUT_ENCODING set to UTF-16 by default?
I cannot find any useful reason for artificially blowing up all .strings
files. You can code every Unicode character in UTF-8, by the way.
