NSString *str = @"Être ou ne pas être. C'était là-bas.";
NSData *data = [str dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES];
NSString *newStr = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSLog(@"%@", newStr);

yourString = [[NSString alloc]
initWithData:
[yourString dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES]
encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
