String encodings used by apple

I have a small problem.

I need to edit the hostconfig file.
I need to change SAMBASERVER=-NO- into SAMBASERVER=-YES-

So what I do is the following. I read the file into an NSData object
I convert this into a string. Get the range of SAMBASERVER=-NO- and replace
that range with the NSString SAMBASERVER=-YES- So far all is well.

Then I convert the string back into a Data object and write that back to the
file after backing up the old file.

In this file is this following line, which is of course pretty standard.
APPLETALK_HOSTNAME="Derk-Jan Hartman\xd5s Computer" \xd5s standing for '

Now if I use NSASCII encoding to convert the modified string into a DATA
object, then I loose the the entire file, because some characters cannot be
converted, I guess the ' character.

So what encoding does apple usually use here? I tried MacRoman and Latin1,
but both were incorrect. Should I use Unicode or something?
