Question

i am building an application that imports JSON results and parses the objects to a table cell. Nothing fancy, but in my results, many of the terms/names are European with characters such as è or ú which come out as \u00E9 or \u00FA. I think these are ASCII ? or unicode? ( i can never keep em staight). Anyway, like all good NSSTring’s, i figured there must be a method to fix this, but i am not finding it….any ideas? I am trying to avoid doing something like this: this posting. Thanks all.

As kaizer.se pointed out, these are unicode characters. And the NSString method you might be able to use is +stringWithContentsOfURL. or +stringWithContentsOfFile. For example:

NSError *error;
NSString *incoming = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://sender.org"] encoding:NSUnicodeStringEncoding error:&error];
