Issues
======

It should work on all Ruby 1.9.1 implementations or higher
independently of operating system. If not, please report
it on http://github.com/lang/unicode_utils/issues

All tests pass with jruby-1.7.0.RC1. Not all tests pass with
MRI 1.9.3p194 due to unexptected behaviour of String#<< with
UTF-16 strings. As long as you use only UTF-8, there's no problem.
(http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7090).
