Comment(by jazz...@…):
{{{
$ macruby -e 'require "yaml"; puts "Rübe".to_yaml'
--- "R\xFCbe"
$ ruby1.9 -e 'require "yaml"; puts "Rübe".to_yaml'
--- "R\xC3\xBCbe"
}}}
seems to work now! Macruby escpapes to UTF-16 and Ruby1.9 escapes to
UTF-8. I didn't find anything in YAML docs that describes that behaviour,
both methods seem to be correct. But ruby 1.8 fails to load the UTF-16
YAML. That is not astonishing because IMHO there is now way to guess what
is the correct escaping mode.
I think escaping is not necessary here because the encoding of input and
output is the same. This can easly be tested by
{{{
$ macruby -e 'require "yaml"; puts YAML::load "--- Rübe"'
Rübe
}}}
