UTF-8 is great for this, but everything will work that can encode all necessary characters. Or, just move your strings into text files separate from your source code, and in a well-defined encoding. And then you need to ensure that both rendering APIs expect the same character set at all.

Then you need to figure what they are turned in into memory right before rendering. A first step is to make sure that both Xcode and MSVC are interpreting the same source files the same way.

If the characters look right in the code editor, the encoding is correct. In Xcode 4, this is the right-most pane, bring it up with cmd+alt+0 if it's hidden. In an IDE like Xcode or Eclipse, you can see the encoding of a file in its property sheet. No class or encoding can help you if there is a mismatch between any of these.

iOS and Mac OS use UTF-16 internally I think, but they are very explicit about what they accept and return. For the old LPCHAR APIs, it is usually the 'current codepage', which could be anything as far as I know. On Windows, this is usually Little-Endian UTF-16 (as a LPWCHAR pointer). (I wish MSVC 2010 could do this, but as far as I know, it does not support UTF-8 at all.) For example, you may have a UTF-8 source file, but the compiler could turn wchar_t literals into proper UCS-4.

What your code contains (in the actual file, between the ''' characters, on a binary level).

You have three variables that could be off: They just contain whatever binary soup your compiler decides to interpret the source files as. None of char, wchar_t, string or wstring have any encoding attached to them.

Seeing as how I already know my answer is to convert from char pointers to wchar_t pointers, my real question then is 'Why does the Mac require wchar_t but in Windows I can use char for the same characters?' Is visual studio doing something to my char pointers behind the scenes that the Mac is not doing? In other words, is the Microsoft environment simply being more forgiving to my architectural oversight when I used char pointers instead of wchar_t? is why are the characters perfectly valid on the Windows machine, same code, and dislaying as gibberish (requiring wchar_t instead) in the Mac environment? But what I don't understand, and hoping someone can enlighten me as to the reason. Experimenting with wchar_t there, I see that they will display properly if I convert everything over. Unfortunatly, while the Spanish characters do display property in the Windows app, they do not display right once they hit the Mac/iOS. This made me think those characters are a part of the multi-byte character set and I don't need to go to all the trouble of updating everything to wchar_t until I'm ready to do some Japanese, Russian, Arabic, etc. However, I noticed that the Spanish characters I want to output display just fine in Windows using just char pointers. And Compiled using Xcode 4.2 on the Mac.Д¬urrently, the code is using char pointers, and my first thought was that I need to switch over to wchar_t pointers instead. Compiled in Windows using Visual Studio 2010 (character set is Multi-byte).

The code in question is all C++, and shared between both a Windows app and an iOS app. I'm having some issues with spanish characters displaying in an iOS app.
