Actually it is! It assumes that the first character is the first "character". You'll want to stick in a call to -rangeOfComposedCharacterSequenceAtIndex: if you want to be 100% universal. However I would not hesitate to assume ASCII. The language only allows ASCII in identifiers, so you can't define, declare, or call a non-ASCII method directly in code. You could do so by building one at runtime, but if you're doing such a crazy thing then you deserve whatever poor behavior you get!
