Bug #6979: Multibyte-Strings

• Status: Rejected

• Target version: Ruby 1.8.7
• ruby -v: ruby 1.8.7 (2012-06-29 patchlevel 370) [i686-linux]

[karsten (karsten e)]

ruby 1.8 does not handle multibyte strings properly.
UTF-8 contains max 4 bytes/charekter. They need to be handled separately in ruby 1.8

(This is fixed in ruby 1.9)
