Discussion of [NSString NSUTF16StringEncoding]

These values represent the various character encodings supported by the NSStringclasses. This is an incomplete list. Additional encodings are defined in String Programming Guide for Core Foundation (see CFStringEncodingExt.h); these encodings can be used with NSString by first passing the Core Foundation encoding to the CFStringConvertEncodingToNSStringEncoding function.

Example of [NSString NSUTF16StringEncoding]

NSString *myAccentStr = @"José";
NSUInteger l1 = [myAccentStr lengthOfBytesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSUInteger l2 = [myAccentStr lengthOfBytesUsingEncoding:NSUTF16StringEncoding];
NSUInteger l3 = [myAccentStr lengthOfBytesUsingEncoding:NSUTF32StringEncoding];
NSLog(@"%ld %ld %ld", (long)l1, (long)l2, (long)l3);
