Re: [xmlvm-users] UTF-8 in String?

[Sascha H. <sa...@xm...>]

Thank you Time for the good tips, I think you are right.

However, one thing I am curious about: Would this example work in
Objective-C if you put this string in an .m file? Because we could do some
conversion when we take the XMLVM file and convert it to Objective-C. The
question is, should it be UTF-8 in the .m file or should it be escaped
there?
