Subject: UTF-8 support - still stuck

OK, I appreciate the feedback on my last post regarding pattern matching
accented French characters.  But I am still not getting anywhere.

I'm running Ruby 1.9.2p0.

Here's the type of pseudo-code I want to use.

====================================

variable = "exagérer"

if variable =~ /érer$/ then
  print "the verb was #{variable}"
end

====================================

I've tried using jcode (which is apparently gone), -u extensions, having
the string # coding: UTF-8 at the beginning of the script, etc.

What I really want to do is read in a comprehensive list of verbs (with
various French accented characters), then have a simple I/O where I test
myself on a conjugation.  So I need to be able to read, write, and
pattern match the accented characters.

What do I have to do to make this work?

TPL
