I found that when I was reading strings in from a  plist file  occurrences of   n  were parsed as    n   The solution for me was to replace occurrences of    n  with   n   For example  given an instance of NSString named myString read in from my  plist file  I had to call     myString    myString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString     n  withString    n          before assigning it to my UILabel instance     myLabel text   myString
