I'd expect the 1.9.1 behavior. Looking at the underlying native lstrip! and rstrip! methods it looks like this is because 1.9.1 uses rb_enc_isspace() whereas 1.9.2+ uses rb_isspace(). 1.9.1p378 :001 > "\u3000\u00a0".strip => "" 1.9.2p320 :001 > "\u3000\u00a0".strip => "�����" 1.9.3p286 :001 > "\u3000\u00a0".strip => "�����" -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
