[bug #34486] gnustep has a problem with non-ascii string constants

[Eric Wasylishen]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #34486 (project gnustep):

Pretty much the two workarounds right now are putting the utf-16 codepoints in
an array and then using -initWithCharacters:length:, or else loading the
string from a file (maybe using NSLocalizedString?)

unichar string[2] = { 0x0068, 0x00e }; // utf-16 codepoints for "hé"
NSLog(@"%@", [[[NSString alloc] initWithCharacters: string length: 2]
autorelease]);

That's a pain, though.

The u escape sequence is probably treated the same by the compiler as loading
a utf-8 source file, so it makes sense that it doesn't work at the moment.

btw, here is a mailing list post that may have some useful info:
