From: dare ruby Date: 2008-06-18T20:15:48+09:00 Subject: Unicode characters in ruby Dear all, Iam in process of parsing xml. I has stored the xml in a stringio buffer and reading the xml character by character. I need to know how to deal with unicode characters here. 1) If unicode characters were present in xml how can i read the all 65636 unicode characters. 2) I have parsed xml declaration part and found the encoding so now in above case after parsing my encoding value would be UTF-8. How to deal with utf-8, utf-16, etc and other encoding types while parsing xml. please suggest me a way to proceed. thanks in advance. Regards, Jose -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
