[julia-users] split a utf-8 string

[Lex]

Hi All

I am having trouble splitting a string in UTF-8 encoding. In my program, I 
am reading a file and splitting each line. On the terminal, copy-pasting 
the line shows the same behaviour.

julia>

julia> s::UTF8String = "Ｔｉｍｅ ｆｌｉｅｓ ｌｉｋｅ ａｎ ａｒｒｏｗ．（光陰矢の如し）"
"Ｔｉｍｅ ｆｌｉｅｓ ｌｉｋｅ ａｎ ａｒｒｏｗ．（光陰矢の如し）"

julia> split(s)
1-element Array{SubString{UTF8String},1}:
 "Ｔｉｍｅ ｆｌｉｅｓ ｌｉｋｅ ａｎ ａｒｒｏｗ．（光陰矢の如し）"

julia> s = " time flies like an arrow"
" time flies like an arrow"

julia> split(s)
5-element Array{SubString{ASCIIString},1}:
 "time"
 "flies"
 "like"
 "an"
 "arrow"

julia> s = "Ｔｉｍｅ ｆｌｉｅｓ ｌｉｋｅ ａｎ ａｒｒｏｗ"
"Ｔｉｍｅ ｆｌｉｅｓ ｌｉｋｅ ａｎ ａｒｒｏｗ"

julia> split(s)
1-element Array{SubString{UTF8String},1}:
 "Ｔｉｍｅ ｆｌｉｅｓ ｌｉｋｅ ａｎ ａｒｒｏｗ"

Could someone please guide me with the correct way of doing this? Thanks.
