iOS4 - problem urlencoding a string

I'm having a problem when trying to urlencode a string containing an ampersand. I'm using the following code:

NSUserDefaults *prefs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSString *sta开发者_开发问答dium = [[prefs stringForKey:@"stadiumname"] 
           stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];

Now, the original string going in is "Brighton & Hove", which is correct when I drop it into NSLog before it gets encoded. After it's encoded, NSLog shows that it says "Brighton22ove", which is obviously failing when I pass it as a querystring.

Any suggestions?
