Re: How do you feel about utf-8 in ruby code?

As on observation on other languages that try to show off unicode in the
source:

1) I probably don't know how to type whatever weird symbol you used so I
will be forever have to cut a paste to edit your code
2) I, personally, know that *𝛿* is read as delta but what does ϕ mean?
Meaningful (or even pronounceable) variable names are out the window
3) Someone is going to edit this in an editor that doesn't understand
unicode and we will end up with æøåÆØÅ in our code instead
