That returns a Fixnum my fellow Ryan.  You need to add a call to
Integer#chr to turn it into a String.  Or use s[-1,1].

Other ways (I'm bored):

irb(main):006:0> /.$/.match(s)[0]
"d"
irb(main):007:0> s[-1..-1]
"d"
irb(main):008:0> s.scan(/.$/)[0]
"d"
irb(main):009:0> s.slice(/.$/)
"d"
irb(main):010:0> s[/.$/]
"d"
