In case it should help anyone else in this kind of situation, the problem here was definitely to do with the encoding of the individual files. Somehow, a small number of the files in the project must have remained in another encoding, probably ISO Latin 1, to be honest I don't even know what encoding they had - thanks to BBEdit - it just opens them using its auto-detect feature and allowed me to re-save them as UTF8 or whatever other format I need and having re-imported them to the new project they are now working great. This seemed to happen a lot in XCode, particularly with the localizable.strings files. I don't know why but I remember I had to constantly reconvert them to UTF8. Must be some setting or bug somewhere in XCode. Anyway, I'm starting to feel like all the files in my projects are now getting some kind of consistency with regard to their encoding, thanks to Eclipse, WOLips and BBEdit :)

If I leave it on auto-detect, I can re-save it as UTF8 and it seems to then open correctly. Thanks! David.

I mostly use Japanese and have sometimes problems like that with imported code.
