Answer 1

You need to encode url as you have written. You can do so with that string method:

stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding(NSStringEncoding)

So your code will be:

var s = "www.example.com/السلام عليكم"
// you may add check before force unwrapping
let url = NSURL(string : s.stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)!)
