You can use CFStringTransform to process Unicode in several ways that 
might be useful for what you're doing. Or you can just go through it 
character by character. To see what CFStringTransform can do, see:

http://icu-project.org/userguide/Transform.html

I should point out that you can only write English with a-z, so I 
don't know if I'd consider the other characters "weird". Not to 
mention characters like ¥, ©, and so on.
