Question

I have a SQLite database with spanish provinces names, but I’m not able to decode unicode characters into NSString to be displayed correctly. For example :Guipúzcoa

With this:

self.provincia.text =[[NSString alloc] initWithCString:[[[provinciaArray objectAtIndex:row] objectForKey:@"name"] UTF8String] encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

But I still see unicode characters.

Many thanks

“ú” is not a “unicode character,” and NSString has no reason to display it as anything but what it actually is. After all, it is not NSHTML

You need to replace all occurences of that with the actual character. You can use stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:withString: to do the actual replacement.
