iOS special characters conversion

Question

I want to convert ù to ù and so on.

I tried to use the following, but it doesn't work. The original string is

E Monti nella Trilaterale non c'è più.jpg

I would like to obtain

E Monti nella Trilaterale non c'è più.jpg

but

s = [s stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

gives me

E%20Monti%20nella%20Trilaterale%20non%20c'è%20più.jpg

while

s = [s stringByReplacingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

leaves the original unchanged. What could I do to convert it?

I too think it's a duplicate because you're trying to convert HTML entities into unicode representations. The method `stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:` converts Unicode strings into (as the name says) [percent encoded](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding) strings (for example `` into `%20`). — DarkDust, Jan 24 '12 at 19:07

This does the job!

s = [s stringByConvertingHTMLToPlainText];
