Benchmark by yourself, and if it shows performance impact, please report it. ---------------------------------------- Feature #6679: Default Ruby source file encoding to utf-8 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6679#change-28346 Author: claytrump (Clay Trump) Status: Assigned Priority: Normal Assignee: naruse (Yui NARUSE) Category: Target version: 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. -- -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
