Subject: Re: unicode in ruby

It's a huge f*cking pain in the ass. We've been trying to convert
Wayfaring.com over to UTF8 off and on for about a month and it's
completely useless. Either you start the site using UTF8 (using crappy
hacks IMO) or forgetaboutit. We're about to break ground on a new site
and I almost don't want to do it until ruby 2.0 comes out with the
unicode support built in.
