I mentioned "non-BMP characters" in the previous reply.

(mapcar 'length (list (string #xffff) (string #x10000)))

=> (1 1)

#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
  NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
  const char str1[] = {0xef, 0xbf, 0xbf, '\0'}; // U+ffff in UTF-8
  const char str2[] = {0xf0, 0x90, 0x80, 0x80, '\0'}; // U+10000 in UTF-8
  NSString *string1 = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:str1];
  NSString *string2 = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:str2];

  printf ("%ld %ld\n", [string1 length], [string2 length]);
  [pool release];
}

=> 1 2
