You need to decode the title string, so check the below code.

NSString *encodedString =@"?UTF-8?Q?=C2=A0New_skills";
NSData *decodedData = [[NSData alloc] initWithBase64EncodedString: encodedString options:0];
NSString *decodedString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:decodedData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(@"%@", decodedString);

        NSLog(@"Decoded String: %@",decodedString);

That is the "encoded-word" encoding from RFC 2047.

There is an online decoder here: http://dogmamix.com/MimeHeadersDecoder/

libetpan can decode it (see mailmime_encoded_word_parse in https://github.com/dinhviethoa/libetpan/blob/master/src/low-level/mime/mailmime_decode.c). That is pretty heavyweight if you only care about this field. You could write a decoder yourself based on the RFC instead.
