Subject: How can i get the first letter of this string

Hello, i'm a newbie. I have a question that how can i get the first
letter of this string: "á is the first letter".
my solution:

>> string = "á is the first letter"
>> str = string[0..1] # [0..1] because á = 2byte

But in many case i don't know the size of the first letter.
Any help would be much appreciated.
