You don't.

Read up on the helpful @"" construction and you'll see that it's intended to
be used for 7-bit strings only. Construct your string in some other accepted
method and declare it static if you want.

Alternatively, of course:
NSLocalizedString(@"myUnicodeString","localizable.strings can be UTF");

There are two great secrets to success in life.
The first is to not tell everything you know.
