iPhone how to write symbol on a label?

Question

I am going to develop the iPhone app. But I got stuck with one place. I want to write some symbol on the label from the xib file.

The symbols are not on the keyboard but we can get it by the ASCII value.

e.g: the ACSII value for the character sign "mue" is 230 but how to print that symbol "mue" on the label that i dont know.

So please help me for that.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Use whatever editor you like to produce that character, and open your xib in XCode and just copy/paste it in?

Answer 2

Use NSUTF8StringEncoding to encode your string.

For example,

NSString *str = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:"your string for encoding"];

[lblName setText:str];

Following function will also help :

- (NSString *) decodedString:(NSString *) originalString {
    NSString *newString = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:[originalString cStringUsingEncoding:[NSString defaultCStringEncoding]]];
    return newString;
}

I suggest to use above function.
