Get unicode chars from webservice and display them in ios app

I need some help:

i get from WebService only a part from the uunicode value, and after this I append the prefix \u to finish the value. The .ttf is good, i tested with some hardcoded values.

 NSString *cuvant = [[self.catData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]objectAtIndex:9]; //Get data 
//apend prefix (double \ to escape the \u command)
cuvant = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"\\u%@",cuvant]; 


// cell.catChar.text = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:"\ue674"]; --->this works very well
cell.catChar.text = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:[cuvant UTF8String]]; //---> this doesn't work

i searched the documentation, and other sites but i didn't found nothing usefull, all the hints are with hardcoded data... i need tot take the codes dinamically

Thanks!

All you need is just to feed this unicoded string as data first. So make a C-String then

NSData *dataFromUnicodedString = [NSData dataWithBytes:yourCUnicodedString length:strlen(yourCUnicodedString)];

and afterwards the resulting string will be

NSString *unicodedString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:dataFromUnicodedString encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
