Title
Body
I've got an international character stored in a unichar variable. This character does not come from a file or url. The variable itself only stores an unsigned short(0xce91) which is in UTF-8 format and translates to the greek capital letter 'A'. I'm trying to put that character into an NSString variable but i fail miserably. I've tried 2 different ways both of which unsuccessful: unichar greekAlpha = 0xce91; //could have written greekAlpha = 'Α' instead. NSString *theString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Greek Alpha: %C", greekAlpha]; No good. I get some weird chinese characters. As a sidenote this works perfectly with english characters. Then I also tried this: NSString *byteString = [[NSString alloc] initWithBytes:&greekAlpha length:sizeof(unichar) encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]; But this doesn't work either. I'm obviously doing something terribly wrong, but I don't know what. Can someone help me please ? Thanks!
