No. I want an unicode string processing library, not an unicode regexplibrary. Currently I am working on a program that needs to work withCzech text.Unicode is not supported in current ruby (1.8), and I can work aroundthat by using iso-8859-2. I choose the workaround because I need easeof installation, and the latin2 encoding is still widely used.With ruby 2 onigurama should be part of the interpreter. But it stilldoes not give me downcase in utf-8. At least it should be possible tosplit a string into characters using Onigurama, and process thecharacters myself.
