Forum: Rails I18n gsub not working to replace a 'Chinese' Charater.

gsub not works for me when replace 'DBCS'(double byte character set)
character,  using last version ruby 1.8.6

when "str汉字end".gsub(/汉字/,"hanzi"),

Works for me with ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) 
[universal-darwin10.0]
 and ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [x86_64-linux]:

    puts "strºº×Öend".gsub(/ºº×Ö/,"hanzi")

outputs

    strhanziend

I found my mistake is using incorrect reg match, it works after change 
to

s=s.gsub(/#{cnarray[i]}/, x.to_s)

thanks veryone!

bigbuk:~ julik$ cat hanzi.rb
$KCODE = "u"
puts "strºº×Öend".gsub(/ºº×Ö/,"hanzi")

bigbuk:~ julik$ ruby hanzi.rb
strhanziend

I think you have some normalization problem which disappeared as soon
as you pasted your CJK into the email
