[ruby-talk:01027] 8 bit characters - the plot thickens

I'm getting confused.

  print "Helln", "Dave\n";

(note the has an accent) produces

  HellnDave

while

  print "Hell\n", "Dave\n";

gives

  Hell  Dave

Also, it seems like you can call methods with accents in their names,
but when you try to reference such a variable, Ruby is sucking up the
next character and getting confused.

Regards

Dave
