title: iOS special characters, strange issue
body: <p>I've got a very strange issue. I started an iOS App about three years ago (iOS-SDK 3.0), and since then went through the SDKs  4.0 and 5.0. Since 5.0 (or maybe 5.1) I suddenly started having problems with German special chars (ä ö ü ß).</p>
  
  <p>Now I can't even initialize an NSString with special chars, this line:</p>
  
  <pre><code>NSString *str = @"abcäxyz";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>gives the following warning:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Input conversion stopped due to an input byte that does not belong to the input codeset UTF-8</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>And this one:</p>
  
  <pre><code>NSLog(@"%@", strTemp);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>gives:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>abc</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So it's stopping at the first special char. In other projects everything is fine. I can work with special chars without any problems.</p>
  
  <p>Is it a configuration problem?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: Obviously it is a problem with the file encoding.<br></p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>file -I myFile</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p><br>is giving:<br></p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>text/x-c++; charset=unknown-8bit</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Trying to convert it with iconv gives me:<br></p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>conversion from unknown-8bit unsupported</p>
  </blockquote>
