How to emit Russian (Cyrillic) or Chinese characters?

Ruby

Can someone point me to an example of a little program that emits
non-ascii
Unicode characters (Russian or Chinese perhaps)? The unicode
Russian/Cyrillic alphabet starts at 0x410. Is this possible to do in a
console mode program?

Thanks!

As a couple of mail programs and a number of newsreaders have issues
with
Unicode in general and Chinese in particular, here is comes a shameless
plug :slight_smile:

I wrote the small blog entry “Examples of Unicode Strings in Ruby” -
http://penpen.goodaddress.eu/?p=617 - that illustrates what I would do
to
output Unicode. Let me note that my whole computer system is based on
Unicode. If the output works on your terminal depends on wether the
terminal supports unicode or not.
