Details:
When I encode an NSString (using encodeObject:value forKey:key) with any non
ASCII characters as UTF-8 (using NSString stringWithUTF8String), the persisted
string does not load back
with the same characters. Instead a much larger string is returned with
completely different data.
For instance the string :
"english -> γερμανικών δυνάμεων στον <-some Greek";
will load in as :
攀渀最氀椀猀栀 ⴀ㸀 댃딃섃밃넃봃뤃먃츃봃 됃씃봃갃밃딃줃봃 쌃쐃뼃
This looks like a bug in either encoding or decoding of the NSString. However
I tried modifying the bom.m test in NSString and could not recreate the error
there, so perhaps it's in the encoding part.
I have not tried any other encodings.
