Setting UITextView with NSString loses Encoding?

Question

I'm getting a string from a server call, and Trying to set that string to the value of the text in a UITextField. However, if the text has any special characters, the encoding gets screwed up on those characters.

-(void)contentDidLoad:(NSString *)content
{
    NSLog(@" content being put into textfield is : %@", content);
    self.textField.text = content;
    NSLog(@" content in the textfield is : %@", self.textField.text);
}

If the string is "töä", this is the output of the Logs:

content being put into textfield is : töä
content in the textfield is : töä

Anyone know whats going on?

UPDATE:

Actually, I've run into a bit of a problem with Pugal's solution. If the string contains any %'s, the string returned by calling stringByReplacingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding will be nil. To get around this, I tried calling stringByReplacingOccurancesOfString, replacing every % with %25. However, after calling that method, the encoding is messed up already! This bug is driving me crazy!

NSLog(@"Original content is: %@", contentPage.content);
NSString *text= [contentPage.content stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"%" withString:@"%25"];
NSLog(@"after % replacement, content is: %@", text);
self.textField.text = [text stringByReplacingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(@"textfield text is: %@", self.textField.text);
