$ ruby -v
ruby 1.9.1p429 (2010-07-02 revision 28523) [i386-darwin9]
$ cat c.rb

-- coding: utf-8 --

s = "a\u3042" # \u3042 is the japanese hiragana "a"
puts s.encoding.name
puts s.count("^a")
$ ruby c.rb
UTF-8
0

The result of count method should be 1 but is 0.

didnt you want to say:
$ puts s.count("a")
1

if you do:
$ s = "^a\u3042"
$ puts s.count("^a")
1

=end

[lirh (Ruohao Li)]

=begin
In the documentation of String#count, "Any other_str that starts with a
caret (^) is negated". Thus s.count("^a") means the number of characters
that is not a, which should be 1.
