nsstringencoding

I am fetching data from URL, and this data contains special characters, such as in the name Désirée . I want to display this in my TableView cell, but when I display it, it looks like this: Dösiröe . How do I make it display correctly? Fetch data NSString *jsonString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:URL] encoding: NSStringEncodingConversionAllowLossy error:nil]; SBJSON *parser = [[SBJSON alloc] init]; dictShow = [parser objectWithString:jsonString error:nil]; arr=[dictShow copy]; Display Data in TableView cell.textLabel.text = [arr objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]; just

How can I convert Plain Text (.txt) files to a string if the encoding type is unknown? I'm working on a feature that would allow users to import txt files into my app. This means the file could have been created in any number of apps, utilizing any of a variety of encodings that would be considered valid for a plain text file.

Dave.B I'd try this function from the docs Returns a string created by reading data from a given URL and returns by reference the encoding used to interpret the
