Hex numbers are numbers.
To answer your question, you can extract bytes from a string:
#!/usr/bin/ruby
s = “this is a test”
i = 0
while (i < s.size)
puts s[i] # emits numbers, not characters
i += 1
end
Bu I don’t think Ruby recognizes characters, Unicode or otherwise. So it
may
not be able to interpret a mixture of Unicode and UTF/8 without explicit
code from the programmer.
