Description

=begin
In the following script, an ASCII-8BIT String is written to a StringIO created with a UTF-8 String without error. However, a << b or a + b will raise an exception, as will writing an ASCII-8BIT String to a File with UTF-8 external encoding.

  • $ cat file_enc.rb

    encoding: utf-8

    require 'stringio'

    a = "On a very cold morning, it was -8°F."
    b = a.dup.force_encoding "ascii-8bit"

    io = StringIO.new a
    io.write(b)
    p io.string.encoding

    File.open "data.txt", "w:utf-8" do |f|
    f.write a
    f.write b
    end

  • $ ruby2.0 -v file_enc.rb
