Devanagari RTF file in UITextView

[M. S. Hrishikesh]

I am trying to read a Devanagari RTF file into a UI text view. My code is like below

  NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"File1" ofType:@"rtf"];

  NSData *myData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:filePath];

  if(myData) {

            _textContent = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:myData encoding:NSUnicodeStringEncoding];

     }

Where _textContent is a NSString*.

This does not work. When I print _testContent it prints characters in a different language.

When I preload the UITextView in storyboard by copy posting the test and print textView.text then the correct Devanagari text is printed.

How do I load my rtf file into a UITextView? 

Thanks

This cannot work because iOS does not support rich text loading from RTF files or any other rich text. If you have special unicode sequences in a PLAIN TEXT file then you can load it via this method.
