rb_nibtool cannot parse Korean (or UTF-8 letters)

[nineclue@…]

I'm using OSX 10.5.4, XCode 3.1 and MacRuby 0.3 When I enter some Korean letters into the code, rb_nibtool cause error. I'm not sure if it's related to encoding problems but I entered "# encoding : UTF-8" anyway.

What kid of error do you get when running rb_nibtool on your file?

In my environment, rb_nibtool seems to work with a file that contains multibyte characters.

$ cat /tmp/t2.rb 
# ひらがな
class Foo
  attr_writer :foo
  def click(sender)
    puts "ありがとう"
  end
end
$ /Developer/usr/bin/rb_nibtool -f /tmp/t2.rb 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

The #encoding: line is not needed in MacRuby, by default all files will be parsed as unicode content.

Also, you may want to check if the encoding of your file is UTF-8. In my case:

$ file /tmp/t2.rb 
/tmp/t2.rb: UTF-8 Unicode C++ program text
