Subject: [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
