I use this code in my application. just found is incorrect when comparing Korean
for (NSString *lang in array){
NSString *currentLang = [[MLLanguage sharedInstance] lang];
BOOL flag = [lang isEqualToString:currentLang];
NSLog(@"\n'%@' isEqual to '%@', %d\n%@\n%@", lang, currentLang, flag?1:0, [lang dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding], [currentLang dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]);
incorrect result: two Korean words are compared as different

It seems that: NSString uses encoding on its own,
english only use 7 bytes like ascii
Usage in China uses 9 bytes, possibly utf8
but in Korean, it looks like two different results,
does anyone know this
