You can use the stringByReplacingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding: method of NSString:

NSString *encoded = @"%23test";
NSString *decoded = [encoded stringByReplacingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

What string are you expecting back? – Dec 02 '10 at 18:21
my string is "%58'den ysnky'ye tepki". i would like to write is as and when clicked i want to get it back. – ysnky Dec 03 '10 at 06:30
Before putting the string into the html, encode it using `stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding`. For the `href`, use double quotes instead of single quote to delimit the url: `NSString *html = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Click This", encodedString];`. – Dec 03 '10 at 17:01
oohh, right. i was missing that single quote deliminating the string. thanks again. – ysnky Dec 04 '10 at 20:37
