What's your policy on native code? I ran a quick test with:
NSString *testString = @"Coupé";
char terminator = '\0';
NSMutableData *asciiData = [[[testString
dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES]
mutableCopy] autorelease];
[asciiData appendBytes:&terminator length:1];
NSLog(@"%@ %s", testString, [asciiData bytes]);
Output was: Coupé Coupe
cStringUsingEncoding: directly on the string didn't do the job sadly
since it doesn't permit a lossy conversion and there's no direct
method for a lossy conversion with a C-style terminator.
