I used the umlaut, that is false printed. The word was:
foo.test("F#lschung") where # is one german umlaut (The length
of the string is 9).

The string returned from test has an escaped umlaut, but the 
length of the string is the same: 9.

ruby: (where # is the German umlaut "a" with two points on top)

s="F#lschung"
t=a.test(s)
p s.length
p t
p t.length

will print:

got: F#lschung
9
"F\344lschung"
9

Best Regards,
Matthias
