title: UTF8 iPhone can't read amharic letters
body: <p>It has suddenly happened that I need to output a couple of strings in amharic (ethiopian) and some quite exotic (I think tamil if in Cambodia they use it). I store these strings in DB and they look fine -> (ሳንቲም).</p>
  
  <p>After retrieving them from db with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>currObj.originalUnitName=(originalUnitName)?[NSString stringWithUTF8String:originalUnitName]:@"";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am getting in device nice squares only which imho means iPhone has no proper decoder. Is there any solution for this case?</p>
  
  <p>P.S I am using iOS 5.1</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance.</p>
