Xcode encoding problem

[smtj]

in my macbook pro, when i first installed xcode 3.2.5 and built my application which parses some arabic text from a website, everything was fine, the arabic letters appeared fine in the simulator and in the debug window, then i installed xcode 4 and built my application and everything was just fine for several days, xcode crashed one time and now when i build and run my app the arabic text is not encoded properly, texts looks gibberish like this "ÇÓÊÌæÇÈ ÇáÏæíÓÇä áæÒíÑ ÇáÅÚáÇã ÛÏÇ" then i thought it might be that xcode 4 is just crazy so i went back to xcode 3.2.5 and the texts are just crazy as xcode 4..

i haven't touched or changed any of the source code, so i thought this might be the problem with xcode caching the data the wrong way, so i searched for the cache files for xcode and deleted them, also deleted the build folder, cleaned, did "empty cache" from xcode and reinstalled xcode and the problem won't go away. I assure you the code is fine and uses the UTF8 encoding to parse the data. I am using TFHpple and XpathQuery to parse the texts.. and i havent even changed anything on the server side that might me affecting the parsing process..

BTW i am new to mac and i absolutely have no idea how its handling its http connect process.. i thought i might have pressed some crazy shortcut keys which triggered this mess.

i used to have it with my previous macbook air with xcode installed in it.. i thought its just that xcode is not supporting arabic, with my new mac at the beginning it turned out it does. but maybe for few days hehe

Hi,

Did you find any solution to reading arabic properly?
I'm facing the same issue right now in my app.

Please suggest?
