Remove \\U00a0 from string - iOS

Question

I've a following string received from server.

body = "Subject: This is from webportal \nTo: My Account \n...\n\n\nLTD Emojis:100k:ltd:eyes:trophy    \nDefault Emoji \\ud83d\\ude1b\\ud83d\\ude31\\ud83d\\ude0d \\ud83d\\ude3b\U00a0\\ud83d\\ude48     \n-- \nStephen acc";

I want to remove "\U00a0"from string. Here is code to remove that but its not working.

testString=[testString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"\\U00a0" withString:@""];

is there any other way to get this thing done.

Thats fine. I'm using same method. For any other character it will work fine. — aqsa arshad, Feb 10 '17 at 13:29
May be you have added \\U00a0 occurrence instead \U00a0. just a guess :) — Sagar In, Feb 10 '17 at 13:29
It seems like its not a compatible string, so string operations won't work on it. \U00a0\\.... is having error while as string. — Sagar In, Feb 10 '17 at 13:40
Try to collect your response in NSString or assign this to new NSString * obj, error will be shown to you. May be ask the server(or where ever you get this response) why is it formatted so? — Sagar In, Feb 10 '17 at 13:45

For anyone else who got this issue. This was a simple change in this line. It solved my problem.

testString=[testString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"\u00a0" withString:@""];

`u00a0` is a non-breaking space, so it's probably more desirable to replace it with " " instead of eliminate (replace with "") it. – daltonf Aug 12 '19 at 22:40
