Is there an easy way to take input (user or file based) at runtime
and convert unicode strings such as \u8D64 (UTF8 character) or a
whole series of these to the human-readable characters they
represent?
I imagine I should be using NSScanner, but is there not some simple
function or method to lookup and return the character as it should
be represented?
Happy to RTFM, just need a pointer to the docs I should be looking
at.
Does CFStringTransform do what you want?

Adam, Thanks!!
Sorry for the late reply, haven't been able to address this since last
week.
CFStringTransform does exactly what I wanted to do.
It even pretty gracefully handles the whole string supplied.
(no idea to how far mileage would vary with this based on supplied
string size or content... maybe somebody from apple can comment on that)
Oddly enough, that archived thread mentions supplying a constant that
is not in the documentation as best as I could tell...
perhaps the CF docs dong get as much attention as they should?
I can certainly file a bug if appropriate...
The only catch was I finally had to sit down and look at how to handle
toll-free bridging. But thankfully that was not too bad. Mostly a
matter of typecasting really.
Thanks a million!
