UTF8 is backwards-compatible with ASCII. That means any ASCII string is valid as a UTF8 string, so there is no need to convert it.

You can also use those same NSString methods I mentioned to convert from just about any text encoding to just about any other. Check the NSString documentation for more info on the available string encodings.
