Use stringWithCString method to encode your NSString object in NSUTF8StringEncoding.

    NSString* myString = [NSString  stringWithCString:[specialCharConatiningString fileSystemRepresentation] encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    myLabel.text = myString;

What encoding are you using to store it in the database, and what encoding are you using to read it back out? You don't say what the problem is exactly, but assuming it's that you have garbage characters where the accents are, it's almost certainly an encoding issue at the storage layer, not a problem with your cell.

You can display unicode characters using the unicode key for them

[label setText:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", @"\u221e"]]; sets the text for infinity.

Here you can get the list of unicode strings.
