If it contains those characters in UTF-8, then that's a bug.  If it's a string 
literal, then you would probably be better off creating it as an Objective-C 
string literal in the first place (since those will always be UTF-8).  As Fred 
and Richard said, you need to be very careful about the encoding of string 
literals, as anything non-ASCII is implementation-defined behaviour.  Clang 
assumes that the source is UTF-8, gcc assumes it's whatever the current locale 
is set to (so if someone Japanese tries compiling code written by someone in 
Korea you get all sorts of interesting things happening).
