Subject: [ruby-core:46141] [ruby-trunk - Feature #6679]  Default Ruby source file encoding to utf-8


Issue #6679 has been updated by rosenfeld (Rodrigo Rosenfeld Rosas).


You could at least consider it for 3.0 and yielding a deprecation warning in such strings on 2.0... Although I think much more people are currently complaining about UTF-8 not being default when compared to those who might complain because they were using ASCII-8BIT encoded escaped chars in strings.

Feature #6679:  Default Ruby source file encoding to utf-8

Let's change the default encoding for Ruby source files from US-ASCII
to UTF-8 in Ruby 2.0

��� Convention over Configuration
��� Ruby 1.9 forced encoding for code that was not pure ASCII, so
existing codebase already has magic comments.


In Ruby 2.0, "# encoding: utf-8" can be the default.
