Bingo. Completely and utterly solved. Thanks Gus! I was writing to the file with:
[[textStream dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] writeToFile:[sheet filename] atomically:YES]; Now, I'm writing with: [textStream writeToFile:[sheet filename] atomically:YES encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:&error]; When using the latter, TextEdit picks up the encoding, no problem.
