[jruby-dev] [jira] (JRUBY-6999) Encoding from Windows-1252 to UTF-8 results in transcoding error

[Mikel Lindsaar (JIRA)]

Mikel Lindsaar created JRUBY-6999 Encoding from Windows-1252 to UTF-8 results in transcoding error Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: JRuby 1.7.0 Assignee: Unassigned Components: Encoding Created: 16/Nov/12 10:07 PM Description: While tracing down an encoding problem in the Mail gem, I found a situation where transcoding Windows-1252 to UTF-8 results in loss. Specifically: # MRI Ruby 1.9.3 str = "=96".unpack("M")[0].force_encoding('Windows-1252').encode('UTF-8') str.codepoints.to_a => [8211] # JRuby 1.7.0 str = "=96".unpack("M")[0].force_encoding('Windows-1252').encode('UTF-8') str.codepoints.to_a => [150] JRuby is converting an En-Dash in Windows-1252 (\x96) into UTF-8 (\u0096) which is a control character instead of an En-Dash (\u2013) Let me know if you need any other information if needed. Environment: Mac OSX 10.8.2 Project: JRuby Labels: jruby i18n web Priority: Major Reporter: Mikel Lindsaar
