How can I convert the selected string to UTF8 string?

[Douglas-BJ]

when copy to clipboard , the selected string is not UTF8 encoded.

I have tested with English-only PDF, everything is OK except some NON-ascii characters .

When I tested with Chinese or Korean, it seems characters are not encoded properly.

How can I convert the selected string to UTF8 string?

Thanks in advance.

FYI, I used following code .

(void)contentView:(PDFPageContentView *)contentView copyMenuSelected:(NSString *)selectedString { UIPasteboard *pb = [UIPasteboard generalPasteboard]; [pb setString:selectedString]; }

I can copy and paste a selected string on my Japanese PDF. Some UTF-8 characters may be not supported.
