It says in your title that you can't use NSUTF8StringEncoding... why? Using UTF8 or less preferably, Unicode, would be the solution as ASCII doesn't contain the euro character.... — Eliza Wilson, Aug 31 '13 at 14:16
Found Solution Using Google Toolbox for Mac GTMNSString+HTML.h ,GTMNSString+HTML.m And GTMDefines.h, First #import "GTMNSString+HTML.h" use like This: Content_SpecialStr = [Content_SpecialStr gtm_stringByUnescapingFromHTML]; — Chirag Dj, Sep 09 '13 at 06:32
