How does Ruby struggle with unicode?
2 comments

This is from a couple of weeks ago, there's a few things broken still, but what languages do have full support out of the box?

Swift
Go
Well, for one, I can't even write a portable unicode string literal.

> "\xAA".split ''

That works on a platform where my platform is UTF-32, but not one where it is UTF-8.
