You can use CFStringTransform to process Unicode in several ways that might be useful for what you're doing. Or you can just go through it character by character. To see what CFStringTransform can do, see:

http://icu-project.org/userguide/Transform.html

I should point out that you can only write English with a-z, so I don't know if I'd consider the other characters "weird". Not to mention characters like ¥, ©, and so on.

hello guys,

is a way to convert an unicode string into a simple a-z>0-9 string
and replace the other wierd chars into a "." (full stop)?

im doing a small hex reader, so maybe this could help you.
