The problem is that NSURL doesn't know what encoding scheme to use when escaping the kanji. Most modern applications expect UTF-8, but it's possible you need Japanese EUC or Shift_JIS. When you know what encoding you want to use, pass the string through -[NSString stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:]. But as someone else hinted, this doesn't fix japanese domain names. There is, unfortunately, no built in support for punycode, and -[NSString stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:] will completely mug your hostname. In this case, you need a more complex scheme to handle URL strings. Probably break apart the URL into its pieces, encode the hostname and path separately, and then put it back together with -[NSURL initWithScheme:host:path:]. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
