“incomplete universal character name” with stringWithUTF8String

Question

when i try to convert form utf-8 string to NSString like so:

NSString *s = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:\"\\U0627\\U0644\\U0641\\U0631\\U0646\"];
NSLog(@\"%@\"         


        

Answer 1

incomplete universal character name means that you are missing part of one of the utf8 character that you are trying to write.

UTF8 spans from 1 byte symbols to 4 byte symbols, probably one of yours is longer that you wrote and you are missing 1 byte or such..

Answer 2

\U and \u are not the same thing. The \U escape expects 8 (hex) digits instead of 4.

This should work:

NSString *s = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:"\u0627\u0644\u0641\u0631\u0646"];
