I think this would be better to do with something like this:

[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%C",0x00A0] (assuming that Mark is right 
about the Unicode code point). The problem is I'm not sure there's any 
way to guarantee what encoding is used when you put a hex escape into 
an NSString constant. The %C always means provide a unichar, which is 
unambiguous.

I'm guessing 0xCA is the MacRoman encoding of this character.
