title: Hebrew Characters in Swift
body: <p>I have an app that downloads the html of a website the contains characters in hebrew, this is the code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>let newurl = NSURL(string: "http://www.handasaim.co.il")
  var error: NSError?
  let html = NSString(contentsOfURL: newurl!, encoding: NSASCIIStringEncoding, error: &amp;error)
  
  if (error != nil) {
      println("Whoops, something went wrong")
  } else {
      println(html)
  }    
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My problem is that the hebrew characters show up as gibrish: <em>òøëú ùòåú - éåí ùéùé</em> </p>
  
  <p>How can I download the html and get the correct characters?</p>
