Subject: [ruby-core:50807] [ruby-trunk - Bug #7544][Third Party's Issue] Accented characters in IRB


Issue #7544 has been updated by naruse (Yui NARUSE).

Status changed from Rejected to Third Party's Issue

Ah, I see what you are saying.
It is because you are using irb with editline, not readline.

irb(main):001:0> Readline::VERSION
=> "EditLine wrapper"

You must specify --with-readline-dir on configure.

Bug #7544: Accented characters in IRB
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7544#change-34648

Author: cfabianski (C��dric FABIANSKI)
Status: Third Party's Issue
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: 
Target version: 
ruby -v: ruby 1.9.3p327 (2012-11-10 revision 37606) [x86_64-darwin11.4.2]


Starting from Ruby 1.9.3 Patchlevel 0 the accented characters are not well handled into IRB

>> RUBY_VERSION
=> "1.9.3"
>> RUBY_PATCHLEVEL
=> 0
>> puts "C��dric"
C��dric
=> nil

>> RUBY_VERSION
=> "1.9.3" 
>> RUBY_PATCHLEVEL
=> 327
=> puts "C\U+FFC3\U+FFA9dric" 
Cdric
=> nil

Note : "\U+FFC3\U+FFA9" is what I'm getting when I try to enter "��"
