One cannot use non-ASCII characters in @"foo" string literals. You
have several options:
1) Use NSLocalizedString to load your Unicode string from a .strings file
2) Explicitly use character values in the source code:
NSString *myString = [NSString stringWithUTF8String: "\xCF\x83xx"];

or:

const unichar myCharacters[] = {0x03C3,'x','x'};
NSString *myString = [NSString stringWithCharacters: myCharacters
length: sizeof myCharacters / sizeof *myCharacters];

or:

NSString *myString = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%Cxx", 0x03C3];
