From: Giulio Piancastelli Date: 2004-12-14T19:12:18+09:00 Subject: Re: Unicode in Ruby and a Ruby Reference How a literal Unicode character can be inserted in a Ruby String? I recall Java having the \uNNNN escaping, for example, but I wasn't able to find a similar mechanism for Ruby. (On the other hand, I'm aware of escaping for octal and hex character codes, e.g. \NNN and \xNN.) -- G.P.
