Ruby 1.9 doesn't support Unicode normalization yet

Question

I\'m trying to port over some of my old rails apps to Ruby 1.9 and I keep getting warnings about how \"Ruby 1.9 doesn\'t support Unicode normalization yet.\" I\'ve tracked

Answer 1

String#unicode_normalize, String#unicode_normalize!, String#unicode_normalized? will be introduced in Ruby 2.2. Sample code and implementation can be seen in test case, lib/unicode_normalize.rb and lib/unicode_normalize/normalize.rb.

// U+00E1: LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH ACUTE
// U+U+0301: COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT

puts "\u00E1" == "a\u0301".unicode_normalize(:nfc)
puts true == "a".unicode_normalized?(:nfc)
