How does JRuby handle strings? If they are mapped to java.lang.String, the JRuby already has more than adequate Unicode support. It seems to me that .chars should return back the same object, if the underlying VM supports Unicode. I would guess that today that would include JRuby, and in the future, that would include Ruby 2.0. Some day in the future, when Ruby 1.x is a distant memory, .chars should be deprecated, and ultimately removed. - Sam Ruby --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
