Subject: Re: to_yaml in utf-8 encoding

The following works for me in ruby 1.8.7:


# encoding: UTF-8

require 'yaml'

File.open('data.db', 'w') do |f|
  YAML::dump("a € symbol", f)
end

---
contents of data.db:
--- "a \xE2\x82\xAC symbol"



File.open('data.db', 'r') do |f|
  puts YAML::load(f)
end

--output:--
"a € symbol"

My original string contains a euro symbol, and after a roundtrip through 
yaml, I got the same string back.
