  Have a look at stringWithUTF8String
  
  Example of use:
  NSString *myString = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:"%
  ƒÂÚÂÎßÛ†–ƒ∆\n"];

  Which, by the way, only works if the source file is being saved as
  UTF-8 by the text editor. It'll most likely blow up if it's saved
  using any other encoding. I think Xcode defaults to saving source
  files using MacRoman. NSLocalizedString() or unichar arrays are
  really the way to go to put non-ASCII characters into NSStrings.

  Is this a good way to do it too?
  
  [NSString stringWithFormat:@"This char is non-ASCII: %C", 0xC5]

  Right or wrong, that's how I've done it, though I can't do much about
  the several thousand warnings I periodically get from the framework.

  This is clearly a FAQ item - the list archives is full of threads on
  this topic!
  My favourite, and the most authoritative, post from the list archive
  is this one:
