I think these chracters are Unicode chracters, you can try something like this to convert them to UTF-8

Answer 3

Try with following code

Your string that you got,

NSString *myStr = @".....;

And use this code,

const wchar_t *myResulr = (const wchar_t*)[myStr cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF16StringEncoding];
NSLog(@"\n str2 = %S",myResulr);

This also may be Helpful in your case.

Try this

NSString *str = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:"\u00e6\u00f8\u00e5"];
NSLog(@"%@", str);

Answer 5

Try:

NSString *str = @"\U00e6\U00f8\U00e5";

NSString *string = [NSString stringWithCString:[str UTF8String]  
                        encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

NSLog(@"string: %@", string);
