Question

I can’t seem to find good documentation that will allow me to do the following:

I’ve got a bunch of UTF-8 strings JSON’ed down to my iPhone app and displayed into a UITableView. When the user clicks on an item, I want a UIActionSheet to come up to notify them of the category that they’ve selected.

The problem is that while the Chinese Characters show up in the UITableView without problem, they show up as UTF-8 characters in the UIActionSheet. Is there any way to convert it from UTF-8 into traditional Chinese characters?

I’m trying to do it like this but it’s not working:

const char *subCatName = [[thirdParamStringArr objectAtIndex:1] UTF8String];
    NSString *subCatSelectedConverted = [[NSString alloc] initWithUTF8String:subCatName];       

    NSString *actionSheetTitle = [@"You have selected " stringByAppendingString:subCatSelectedConverted];

    NSString *actionSheetTitleFinal = [actionSheetTitle stringByAppendingString:@", proceed to upload to selected subcategory?"];

    UIActionSheet *actionSheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:actionSheetTitleFinal delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Proceed to Upload" destructiveButtonTitle:@"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:nil];

Thanks in advance!

Ok, after further investigation this did the trick:

NSString *subCatSelectedName = [[thirdParamStringArr objectAtIndex:1] stringByReplacingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];


        NSString *actionSheetTitle = [@"You have selected '" stringByAppendingString:subCatSelectedName];

        NSString *actionSheetTitleFinal = [actionSheetTitle stringByAppendingString:@"', proceed to upload to selected subcategory?"];

        UIActionSheet *actionSheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:actionSheetTitleFinal delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Proceed to Upload" destructiveButtonTitle:@"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:nil];

This did the trick:
