Hi,
I’m trying to process unicode files with Ruby. These files contain
sentances in many languages, including right-to-left languages, and are
usually UTF-16.
After much head-scratching I managed to get everything (reading, writing
and regexing) working properly using Iconv/IO (thanks Masahiro Sakai!)
and UTF-8.
My question is: Are regexes and UTF-8 fully compatible? Is there
anything that’s going to bite me down the track?
On the plus side, if anyone wants more info and how-to - shoot me an
email 
Cheers,
Assaph
