[Wtr-general] unicode question

[Charley Baker]

You can try using the jcode library. Unicode support in Ruby is dicey
at best right now, but this should at least allow you to get the
unicode strings from your escape sequences:

$KCODE = 'UTF8'
require jcode

str = "\342\210\202x/\342\210\202y"
puts str
=> ∂x/∂y
