Briefly: My xml string is with wrong encoding. But after using NSLog and copying string from Xcode console the string got right encoding.
Full explanation:
I sent xml string to server with ASIFormDataRequest and encoding:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
And I got an error 500 "Server can't parse your xml". I thought, that it was an error in my xml. I tried to analyze, I built xml from string from NSArray and NSDictionary. These strings were taken from previous server response and from textfields.
But then I used NSLog("%@", myXmlString). I saw my xml string in Xcode console. I copied the string from console and pasted directly in code, and I sent this coped string to server. And there were no error.
The question: How can I change the string (string encoding) the same way Xcode console change it?
Update
The string from NSLog console:

So, I see additional dots in this xml.
