From: Yui NARUSE Date: 2011-01-01T03:50:43+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:34019] [Ruby 1.9-Feature#4224][Assigned] inconsistent behavior of 'puts "\xFF"' Issue #4224 has been updated by Yui NARUSE. Status changed from Open to Assigned Assigned to set to Usaku NAKAMURA "Current spec" seems: * if external encoding is set, output may raise exception * if not set, output won't raise exception Because this case is latter even if ruby converts strings internally, it shouldn't raise exception. Anyway in this case specifically, \xFF should be converted to U+F8F7. So *this* is conversion table's bug. http://icu-project.org/repos/icu/data/trunk/charset/data/ucm/windows-949-2000.ucm ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/4224 ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
