Subject: Ruby 1.9 and unicode

Well i tried to play a little with new unicode features.


i wanted to do something like this:

def 裡(*args)
   args.inject(0){|sum,el| sum+el}
end

and use it like 裡[1,2,3,4]

BUT:

swistak@sreberko:~$ irb1.9
irb(main):001:0> # -*- encoding: utf-8 -*-
irb(main):002:0* 裡(1,2,3)
=> nil
swistak@sreberko:~$

--------------------------

swistak@sreberko:~$ irb1.9
irb(main):001:0> def 裡(*args)
SyntaxError: compile error
(irb):1: syntax error, unexpected $end
         from (irb):1:in `Kernel#binding'
swistak@sreberko:~$

-------------------------
as you can see it's droping back to shell after i type unicode character in.

I'm using Debian etch. Gnome + gnome terminal.

Any ideas?
