hi Charley, thanks for your reply. Your example works fine so far but it doesn't solve our problem. In our case the unicode chars are escaped like this "\u00fc" (should be a german ue umlaut)
I can use this escaped chars in Python for example: >>> print u"\u00fc" ü In Ruby i get the following result: $KCODE = 'UTF8' require jcode str = "\u00fc" puts str => u00fc Christian On 10/24/06, Charley Baker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You can try using the jcode library.
