Sean,
Thanks for following up to my comment 8-).
Yes, we do support non-ASCII characters in CFString/NSString literals
with the compiler shipped with Xcode 3.0 and later.
The compiler does recognize the CFSTR() macro in non-Objc source files
and both the macro and @"" notion in ObjC files.
The documentation is not updated to reflect the new functionality,
yet. Filing bugs would certainly help.
Note I realized that some of you might have experienced issues
embedding non-ASCII characters even with Xcode 3.x compilers earlier
this year.
The functionality was not enabled for some beta versions of a certain
SDK we're not supposed to discuss here 9-)

Why do you say this? I thought that I may have missed something,
but looking
back through all the documentation, all the warnings about only
including 7-bit ASCII
characters in string literals still exist... even in the most
recent updated documentation.
ISTR seeing this in the release notes somewhere, but can't find it
now either. Anyway, see
http://lists.apple.com/archives/Cocoa-dev/2008/Apr/msg01885.html
Well, I still can't find anything that says this other than
somebody's
statement on a mailing list...
Aki's not just a 'somebody' but a member of Apple's Cocoa team. There
are several posts in the archives about this being supported now.
IIRC,
it only works in .m/.mm files, not .c/.cpp.
the three
most recently updated documents that apple put out dealing with
strings all specifically say that string
literals (CFStringRef, NSConstantString and c style string constants)
all must be 7-bit ascii encoded
Please file a bug against the docs.
