Ruby strings

Do Ruby strings suck, or do they actually have support for multibyte characters and different encodings? Googling seems to suggest the former.

I found Perl's unicode support half-baked. The main problem was that unicode works very poorly with regex in Perl. I spent a few hours bashing my head, wondering why rather simple regular expressions didn't do what they were supposed to.

In the end I had to use Python, which actually worked. I don't like Python much, but at least when it says "supports unicode", it fucking supports it.
