Subject: [ruby-core:41956] [ruby-trunk - Bug #5855][Rejected] inconsistent treatment of 8 bit characters in US-ASCII


Issue #5855 has been updated by Yui NARUSE.

Status changed from Open to Rejected

U+0080 of Unicode can't be mapped to 0x80 of US-ASCII.
In US-ASCII, the codepoint 0x80 exists, but doesn't define any character.

=begin
Does Ruby allow 8 bit characters (127-255) in a US-ASCII encoded string, or not?

   "\u{80}".encode("US-ASCII")      #=> Encoding::UndefinedConversionError
   0x80.chr("US-ASCII")             #=> "\x80" (US-ASCII encoding)
   "".encode("US-ASCII") << 128     #=> "\x80" (US-ASCII encoding)
   "".encode("US-ASCII") << 128.chr #=> "\x80" (ASCII-8BIT encoding)
=end
