[Xapian-discuss] Encoding Oddities

[Johannes Fahrenkrug]

Hi Adam,

Ruby's UTF-8 "support" is a joke in 1.8.x. But that was exactly the
problem. The "downcase" method of Ruby's String class didn't downcase
UTF-8 characters. There are two ways to get around it: If you're using
Rails, use "a string".mb_chars.downcase. Otherwise, require the
"unicode" gem and use Unicode::downcase("a string").

Cheers,

Johannes
