That's a mistake ... if you read it in as a single NSString, you must 
be reading it
as a single encoding ... but you've just said it's two encodings.
You should read it as an NSData instead.
 Then you split the NSData up into chunks, and  use NSStrings 
initWithData;encoding:
method to create string in the appropriate encodings.
