Unicode support in Ruby - Programming in Python and Ruby

Posted by admin (Graham Ellis), 16 December 2006

Does Ruby support Unicode, and if so, how?

1. Historically, there are a number of solutions around which you can find out about through a Google search (see Google and here too)

2. It's here today in the jcode module - part of the standard distribution although said to be poorly documented - but start at http://ruphus.com/blog/2005/06/11/ruby-and-unicode/.

3. More to come in the next release of Ruby - see here
