I have been trying many combinations of encodings/decodings, but without the intended result. I do know what NSString wants, but that's not what I have. I have stringA as shown, and I have to somehow morph it into something usable. Basically I need NSString to interpret the characters a second time, but NSString seems to do all it can to keep it as is. Normally, that's indeed what I want, but not now...

I'm surprised that the most important question has not been asked yet: Where are you getting this string from, and how are you getting it into your application?

I am parsing the output of a command line utility (mtree). This outputs a text file, with the parts of the texts encoded as I've mentioned. It does put it there encoded like this on purpose, as to stand out from the rest of the tab and space delimited text. I wish they would have chosen a more sensible format like XML, but I don't think that was around yet when this utility was written.

So only parts of the incoming text have this encoding, and it is only on those bits that I am trying to do this decoding.

As suggested earlier, I am now parsing it myself, which does seem to work great, except that I overlooked that -[NSData rangeOfData:options:range:] is new to 10.6. I need to support 10.5 too, so I need to redo that bit differently.
