"ñáéíóúàèìòù".upcase
=> "ñáéíóúàèìòù"

Shouldn't String#upcase also upcase letters others than those from 'a' to
'z'?:

"ñáéíóúàèìòù".upcase
=> "ÑÁÉÍÓÚÀÈÌÒÙ"

Hi,

"ñáéíóúàèìòù".upcase
=> "ñáéíóúàèìòù"

Shouldn't String#upcase also upcase letters others than those from 'a' to
'z'?:

To upcase beyond ASCII, try the Unicode gem:

% gem install unicode

>> require "rubygems"
=> true
>> require "unicode"
=> true
>> puts Unicode.upcase("ñáéíóúàèìòù")
ÑÁÉÍÓÚÀÈÌÒÙ

To upcase beyond ASCII, try the Unicode gem:

% gem install unicode

Unfortunatelly this gem doesn't install on Ruby 1.9.
It uses:
  struct RString->ptr
which is not valid in Ruby1.9.
